If you're going for the win, you can get rid of all the stuff that will allow you to finish.
I was always going for a finish + highest place so I would pack everything that would get me to the finish, short of being put in hospital or the bike snapping.
I just can't spend all that time and money, fly to the USA and then DNF on day two because of some basic bitch thing I should've carried. That's not me.
