One-day race vs a stage in a three week tour though, not really comparable in my opinion.
Well I just did, the numbers anyway. Just pointing out it's nowhere near as hard as the classic itself.
I don't know how true it is, but the point was made (by Millar I think) that the majority of the field don't ride P-R.
Like throwing a rally stage into a GP, I suppose.
