Zwift TT racing series is on this course this week. One lap. I think most people on TT bike. I’m on Casex TT bike and went under 6 mins

I’m a pretty weak (heavy!) climber and the gravel bike definitely suited me, I gained more places off-road than I lost on the tarmac plus overtaking so many people on the climb was a revelation.

It’s certainly not impossible to win on a gravel bike on this route, but you’ll need to commit more than I did. I didn’t want to completely explode since there was another tiny race to go.
