Side note:
To illustrate my point, here are a few gravel races over the last couple years, ranging from the most current (least fittest), to my most fit. I just feel like I have to put out a lot (for me) of watts to hang with the small guys. Seems like there are very few points in a gravel race where there’s a long enough straight stretch to drop a small rider in a wattage contest. We’re always in a pack and they can hide, recover.
