"The riders start at different intervals and Froome jokes that the slowest rider must use the 1.5kg weights he has been wearing on his legs for the final ascent." "The riders are audibly panting as they reach the top, but Kerrison looks satisfied as he instantly digests the numbers. Froome is 16 seconds faster than his previous best. There is a knowing nod when Froome says his power output, a measure of how much force he is transferring through the pedals, has also increased by seven watts."
