After all, gravity was the great equalizer. Heavier riders suffered immensely on the climbs, but they held a distinct advantage on the descents.
In fact, those sprinters had to specifically train their descending skills just to avoid being eliminated by the time cut on the high mountain stages of Grand Tours.
The time they lost on the ascents could only be clawed back on the descents!

He had long understood that in the highest echelons of professional cycling, even the smallest discovery could often determine the final outcome of a race.
