His fastest ever time up is at 13.8km/h. I don't know what speed he was doing during this though - I'm sure it can be worked out - his ride is probably on Strava
(it is: https://www.strava.com/activities/3840715465)
Light Rain, 19°C, Feels like 19°C, Humidity 93%, Wind 14mph from SSE

I'm sure you could plug in some numbers into Analytic Cycling to work out if a tailwind up was worth more than headwind descending losses.
