Except... what about those poor guys barely racing whom he beat (half
the field)?

Seems there is a big difference between TT bikes and MTB bikes in the way
that they handle.

Nerves and inept support.

You'd think he'd be a natural for a technical course.

It's the curse of Saint-Etinne which strikes again.
Tour de France de 1956, TT starts in Saint-Etienne. Third in the GC: Wout
Wagtmans. He's very optimistic, but after five minutes all his hope seems to
be shatter when he makes a fall. Twenty km later a second blow: he has a
flat and looses a lot of time because the mechanic brings a frontwheel in
stead of a backwheel. Fifteen km before the finish he is overtaken by Stan
Ockers, started six minutes behind him. Wagtmans finishes 61th at 8'26" and
drops to the sixth place in the GC.

.... at 11'33", just like Rasmussen.

I think Ras must have broken a mirror seven years ago and had all his
bad luck in one day.

He still beat Santiago Botero.
