It's not unprecedented. It's how we did Italy divide. I just didnt have that level this race. He was about the same, perhaps a little quicker over the duration here.
4 day races you can really let rip without consequence. Longer you need to pace.
He was hindered, he was blown near the end and creeping. He could have covered the distance faster if he slept 1h30 each night.

I know it's a relatively short race, but Sofiane's approach to how he raced and didn't sleep, and not being hindered by it, seems pretty radical to a dotwatcher like me. I'm guessing it's unsustainable in a longer race, but it feels significant in how you approach shorter races.
