    The training argument should be better specified IMHO. What changed exactly, and what are the expected positive changes in key physiological variables? I for one believe that training evolves and this is driven by competition, individualisation and experimentation. This will have positive...

    State of the Peloton 2026

    With or without doping and contemporary training practices, I think it is highly unlikely that a 19yo has already maxed out on muscle respiratory capacity. Vo2max *maybe*, but not capillaries and mitochondria in the muscles, probably not efficiency either. Miles upon miles are still required...

    Paul Seixas

    Rumour has it that he did two things. First, he secretly slipped a couple thousand euros to the mythical Sola and finally got training right. (The prescription was long intervals that everyone from lowly amateurs up does anyway). Second, he started to mainline porridge. And presto, here we are.

    An idol of a battle for some time, but predictably Pog just motored away

    A bit worried here: it Seixas doesn't drop, will the space time continuum collapse?

    Chill. Pog is not only the most awesome physical specimen ever but also his racing IQ is 7 wtfs/kg.

    Doping in other sports?

    Plus, the entire top three went below Kiptum's WR.

    A meh man once said: When the facts change I change my mind. What do you do, sir? Nevertheless, Pog will solo to win.

    Hopefully Pog takes off solo and wins. To save cycling you know.

    If I understood right, Wva peak power during Pog auchy attack was about 1200w per Velon. Literally fighting the bike, on the saddle. Pog also must have been generating a similar wattage. No drafting and not a particularly aero position. But this with 8kg or so less muscle mass.

    Dropped to the second page for crying out loud. But no way this was cleanz.

    Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

    Yeah, maybe I should have watched this. Oh well. Dunno which is better, Wva winning or pogi losing, but the combination is golden (per k-pop demon hunters).

    Let's say a runner sweeps every WC, diamond league or equivalent level event from the track 3000m steeples (or 5k if the steeples is somehow deemed too much) through 10ks, halfs, marathons, to 100k trail ultras within a season. Smashing or equalling established performance records as they go...
