I didn't do any research into their physiology. I just looked at difference in head position when watching, plus the earlier assumption that Tao is gonna be better at TTs given British TT culture. I did see some talk about skinsuits but apparently that was irrelevant as he was in his own suit rather than the race suit everyone thought he'd have to wear?

With the Velon live power data on the last climb on Saturday you didn't need to :)

I still don't get teams going for GC with riders who cannot TT for shit (not including Jai H in this)
Climb for show, TT for dough!

Because most riders who TT really well can’t climb for shit.

The ones that can do both tend to win the grand tours (Thomas, Froome, Dumoulin, Roglic etc)

The purer climber wins (sub 60kg) are less common, but Nairoman, Simon Yates, Bernal have done it.
