Thats a very big gear ratio she rides on! Big gear and a relatively low cadence for 12 hours! Wow!

I would sure like to know what the gear ratio was as-well-as the average cadence. Cheers!

Clearly she had a Q-Ring, which improved her usable power and likely increased her average speed by 5%.  My take on a low cadence with good power is that it allows oxygenated blood more time to circulate through the legs, adding to endurance. 

Or it's just that Maria is a monster cyclist!

Or ... both!
