Skinsuit grouptest. Suggests up to 25w difference from best in class to a basic skinsuit.

You would imagine the sponsor skin suit would be better than a basic skinsuit, but perhaps not, so G might be having to work with a fairly significant aero decifit.
Sky have most likely aerotested it multiple times for both Froome and G so that they can tailor it as best as possible.

I’m quite surprised it’s that high between best and worst.

I was thinking about the value of a comfortable lead, having to have worked less yesterday and the effect being in yellow has on performance.

I think the psychological benefit of having a target (e.g Roglic not far from second place) would be stronger than not losing time.
Don’t think we’re going to see a Lemond Fignon situation today though.
