He did, but that was at Monza with more turns, maybe more elevation difference, not as good drafting strategy, etc. He said he learned a lot from that, so who knows how fast he would run if he had made another attempt in the exact same conditions but with the added experience. At Monza he ran in 2:00:25 and this race took 1:59:40, that's 0.62% faster. Definitely within reason for a technical improvement.
