If it was a training ride of 100 miles, I would definitely take a lot more food. I think I was fairly empty at the end.

Surprised about your limited food/drink intake during such a long TT – is this fairly routine in the field? I seem to be feasting on the bike by comparison :)

I believe one of the commentators said the guys riding behind the lead man can use 25% less energy for the same speed.

Tejvan is on his own, I don’t think I could do that from a mental aspect let alone fitness.

It’s definitely hard work on back staying in TT mode for 4 hours. Even though I love hills, I’m glad I didn’t have to climb Mont Ventoux (or even Whinlatter pass) at the end of the 100 miles! I just about managed the 2 miles back to HQ. Walking up the steps to a cafe afterwards made me feel like a 70 year old.

It averaged 26.5mph. Which was a similar average speed to yesterday’s stage. Though they did have a flat 100 miles, plus the small matter of an ascent of Mont Ventoux!

Watched the TdF today and Froome probably did similar average mph to you over 150 miles incl 13 miles up Ventoux in sub 1 hr!
