I can give you a weird example to think about. The wide bars do more than people give them credit. I am a roadie so I do use drops as standard. I used to tow my son on a tag along but I live in a very hilly town so it's real hard work towing a kid up some of those hills. I use flat bars on a chappy mountain bike to tow him as standard but on one occasion I thought oh I'm gonna use my allez for a change to tow him. When I tried ti ride up those hills without the full width of flats I honestly couldn't generate enough power to pull him. This taught me that Andrew is onto something, there is a definite loss of power when you have to really put the power down up a hill when your using slimmer bars.

Have you tried climbing in a shifter angle that tilted up? It’s good. Trust me. I tried. It’s one of those things you gotta do and see where the wind blows. It’s like tilting your levers in, great for aero position. Shifter tilted up? Feels great when you’re always climbing out of the saddle. 👍

I did ride it as part of a bigger ride though. I'm sure he would've just gone up it for the KOM, but still.

I’m assuming Andrew went for swi only because of climbing specific geometry and how it handles while going up steeep gradients.

Introduce a limit or weigh bikes and introduce a sanctioning formula that computes the final points earned. It's bonkers... runners have to rely on their own muscles with equipment weight playing far lesser role in the outcome, yet bikers can hide behind absurdly featherweight equipment at a price of a passenger car.
