Roglic is just a monster in fresh w/kg effort, I believe that in perfect shape and not affected by fatigue of the Hautacam stage he could have been even 20-30 secs closer to Vingegaard in Peraygudes, but that just my opinion. He doesn’t recover just like the other two, although high Kj...

@Peyresourde If it's not too much to ask, do you have the data and index of the main climbs of the Vuelta19? I've analyzed it multiple times with other "watt estimators" and w2w, but since your estimates seem more complete, I'm curious. I know you mentioned Javalambre positively, but there were...

Well with chain drop (was 19 or 21 seconds lost I think) it was more close to 55-1 min difference to Thomas and Almeida. And I was refering to all the estimations of that day and not only yours, but despite Zeeman claim t it´s quite posible that your last sentence is just the true and due to the...

It's curious how low the performances in Lussari were—well, in a manner of speaking, almost 6.4 w/kg for nearly half an hour after the two previous mountain marathons isn't that bad, but still... The thing is, Zeeman said it was one of Roglic's best days of his career (and it was understood he...

Del Toro is more explosive and a better classics rider overall (his ease on gravel, for example, is tremendous). However, Ayuso isn't far behind him in terms of climbing explosiveness, especially on climbs longer than 5-10 minutes, where I feel Del Toro is almost invincible. But in a sprint...

Del Toro's numbers are clearly inferior to Roglic's best performances in 2024 and 2023 on similar climbs (and with more fatigue), and similar to Primoz's few good performances last year, but obviously it remains to be seen whether he can recover that level, and even then, based on the course, he...

Huh, it seems RB Bora needs him more than initially expected...

This comment describes 8 out of 10 of Groenewegen's sprints (except for the periods when he had a dominant train in 2018-19). His lack of positioning is frustrating, although both here and in Besseges and Palma, the Rockets have done a poor job to be honest.

For those who analyze everything in terms of results, it would be a bad race for RB Bora, but as you say, Martínez didn't look like the same rider as last year. His attack 50 kilometers from the finish reminded me a lot of his 2024 Algarve performance in terms of explosiveness. Simply trying to...

Good for him, but the more important thing from him was the day before, he broke all his strava power numbers for long efforts and according to Patxi Vila he was the MVP of the day, controling from the Miserat (in a peloton of only 20-25 riders at some point) to the second last climb. I hope he...

He seems to be back in the form he was in the first half of 2024 (or even 2022). His performance last year, and that of Martínez, was inexplicable; we'll see if the Colombian can also return to his 2024 level.

He certainly has the physique to suggest he could be a good rodeé un rolling Terra in, and indeed, both yesterday and last year, certain aspects of that were evident. His only real weakness is explosiveness. In time trials, he might be penalized aerodynamically by his wide shoulders, although...

Marit is there.

Because Magagnotti will be the next Petacchi ;)

Magagnotti is the real deal in terms of sprinting, but still quite surprising his podium with 0 experience at this level.
