thats a lot of assuming though Euro..don't forget that when he went for it he would have covered more ground at that point than just sitting there..ground he would have had to make up late on in your stting scenario. 

 

We are talking about energy left 3 out and the difference between using it then or late..i doubt very much that Denman's actual postion would have been lengths better had he sat..because its easier to go for it on the downward section of a race and take a good few lengths off the oppo at that point..in your scenario he would have sat on the downhill section and asked on the uphill section.

 

AP has said that in many races he prefers to kick on on a downhill section as its easier to take more lengths out of the oppo at that point.  When racing uphill that same energy goes less far.

 

I love both Denman & KS by the way..but i do think the Denman fans get a little carried away tbh


5 + 3 = ?
