Frankly, he sounds very sure about some things that are either not certain or even opposite of what he claims. I have watched some his videos and: - He regularly talks down performance gain of the equipment, but strangely only focuses on the bikes themselves (which indeed have not improved that...

I used a CdA in the 0.28 range and calculated with the J. Martin method and used 60kg etalon w/kg to get to my result. So in real watts, he did a bit less then the 7.94 I had as my result as he is heavier than 60kg. 7.4 for Cipressa definitely seems impossibly low for me. How would he destroy...

Do you have specific knowledge or a source on Pogacar's CdA? I already set it extremely low. Maybe I am too high on the CRR which is also more important at high speeds, but it is not like Cipressa is the smoothest road in the world. Maybe he can do even better, but then the other riders can...

Did Remco channel his inner Valverde when he had a gap in the last descent, looked back and just sat up?

As I said, this is just my opinion based on my numbers and the context. Jorgenson has been consistently good since that race (and almost won the next day). And regardless of how good the oponents were that day, for me Seixas' performance speaks for itself. (I also calculated the number for the...

Seixas was: Paul Seixas | 93 (-3): 7.21 W/kg for 16:26 on Saint-Romain-de-Lerps Personally, I am 100% sure that Seixas had the better performance there compared to Vingegaard on Pal. Even with your method of just looking at gaps, he put 40 seconds into Jorgenson and Martinez on a short climb...

The performance on Pal was certainly strong, but to say it was clearly the strongest is a bit of a stretch (only if you just count 30 min+ climbs). I would rate Tiberi on Jebel Mobrah equally strong. He also had a gap of 51 seconds to Gall (on a shorter effort) and the competition was quite...

This is a race I like. In my opinion it is the easiest good race (and the easiest race that should be in the World Tour). If MvdP wants to win, the logical way should be to escape with guys like Vermeersch or van Aert and win the sprint (unless he wants to go solo again to improve his power...

The strava time by Evenepoel is clearly wrong. Onley who was in the same group has a much slower time closer to my timing. There may even have been a tailwind on the climb which I did not count as I was not sure about it. Evenepoel indeed pushed harder than Pogacar in the valley (although as...

The 2024 and 2026 stages to Queralt were almost the same, so I wanted to do a side-by-side analysis of the two stages. As Vingegaard appeared to be in complete management mode and was driven around by his teammates from Redbull, this exercise became a bit less interesting, but nevertheless...

If we assume 75kg and that the measured power is correct: Then in my 60kg etalon w/kg this would be 6.2+ w/kg for 90 minutes or a raw Index of 100+!! So either this measurement must be completely false or he mysteriously looses all his power every time he goes above 200m and thus can only do...

I have not calculated just the attack part yet, but if 6.4 w/kg is true then just the the attack part would rate worse in my model than the whole climb. (6.13 w/kg for 38:25) The wind in the second half of the climb was not really a headwind and even if it was that would make extending the gap...

For me not everything is about monuments. Van der Poel had comparatively more monuments than other classics in his palmares anyway, so catching up to rider like Boonen in that department is nice anyway. Should he win on Sunday, then the comination of Omloop+E3+Gent is clearly superior to just...

A Pradell attack is a bit risky. The lower part of the descent is a bit of a highway where you can get mowed down. I would attack on Isidre if it is an open race. Or if his team is unexpectedly good, I would just wait for the last climb.

One important factor for Roubaix is his bike. Last year he was on the V4Rs (last ever race for the bike). If he had just used the V5Rs that everyone in the team had magically available just days later, he might have caught back up with MvdP after the crash. Rumours are that he will use the Y1Rs...
