Surely that cannot be, err, shall we say, quite right … Vingegaard beats Pogacar by 108 seconds in 22.4km, that’s 4.8 secs per kilometre! And Pogacar in turn beats van Aert by 73 seconds (another 3.25 secs per km) … meaning Vingegaard was more than 8 seconds per km faster than WVA!
Put it another way Pog’s time was 105.5% of Vingegaard’s. Compare with 2022 - WVA’s winning margin last year (on a longer TT) was 19 secs, less than 0.7%.
