In a 22km ITT (time trial), he put 1min38 on Pogacar, the 2nd best, and almost 3 minutes on Wout Van Aert.
By many experts of the sport, this is probably the greatest time trial performance in the history of the sport.
For context, this would be like a 10k race where say Kiplimo would win with like 300m on Cheptegei in a time of 26:00 lol
Not a normal TT with the big climb.

And put more than a lap on the rest of a world class field.

True, but even in the flat part, before the climb, he was miles ahead of everyone.
He was already I think 1 minutes in front of Pogacar.
