There's a bit at the end where Hank and Conor mention they were pushing 400, even 500 watts, but Si was only doing 360 average. I think that removes the rider variable from the equation. Same route, shorter time with lower power = faster.

Now, they probably could have paired up the two riders better, since Conor is SO big that Hank doesn't really shield him from the wind that much.
