Actually what I find even more amazing than that, as Pogacar was appeared to have the best W/kg in the race, was Wout Van Aert being 3rd fastest up the climb?!
Acliff-
Climb is pretty short, right? Short enough to just beast mode through it for someone like Wout.
Thinking about the entire TT and his performance in it, it's not like he doesn't have extensive experience of 60 minutes of agony!

I missed a couple of stages but certainly in the mountains I thought Roglic looked strongest. He seemed to be sometimes able to leave gaps to Pogacar on the harder sections. For instance on stage 17 which Lopez won (the one where
RossKuss dropped back).

Apologies if repost but..
... seems madness that Carapaz, who could cruise the flat bit, change bike early (unlike others who had to wait until being on the steep bit) and just blast the climb still managed to ship 71 seconds over 5.9km.
Lopez must've really overdone it on the flat too.
