Hi,

So in real cycling a very good time trialist gains vs climbers 3 seconds - 4 seconds/km on flat.

In RSF can be even 9 -10 seconds/km which is absolutely unrealistic. I dont say RSF gaps have to be aligned with real cycling gaps but maybe slightly adjusted.
Also I would like to see maybe in Vuelta 8 riders/team as per real cycling. Let's see how it works, i'd bet it will be everything even more spectacular.

Thanks
Liqui

not flat...but timetrialist (85 TT) vs climber (55 TT)--> abt 9-10 sec/KM
Today Quintana lost 1'39'' to Van Emden on 29 km--> abt 3.41 sec/KM

Same goes for flat or sprint or whatever else...
Dont think that in reality a sprinter is thrice as fast in the end as a mountain guy^^
