Worth pointing out Marin is around 430km / day which was about Kristoff pace in his years. Given this year is the hilliest to date, his pace is amazing. The front two are just beyond anything seen before.
From my perspective it was striking in 2019 how much the standard improved mid-pack from my first race in the Kristof days. I averaged 20km per day more but was about 80th rather than 30th. And it's got higher still since then.
