Although faster at all TT distances this year I thought the midfoot cleat position might hamper me more on the &#8216;all out&#8217; hill climb. Actually, I don&#8217;t think it was the case at all. Motivation for this hill climb was low, having met all my goals and so I was a few kilos heavier this time around.
