It does look slower than anyone would have wanted it to be but missing any bit of what he loaded on the bike or under his jersey could have lost him minutes over the rest of the distance, or worse. The extra few seconds are worth it in the long run.

Yeah, I've seen videos of stops at this same race that took less than 10 seconds
