Rewind the tape. Kreuziger tried to go with 1k with a surprise move
but Deignan caught his wheel: the move burned Kreuziger's leg for the
final 200 meters or so.

yep, in retrospect, I think that's what happened. Kruez tried to ride
him off with around 1k to go, whereas Deignan stayed on the wheel and
waited ... it must've been significantly uphill all the way.
