@Pozzovivo Comparing one specific race to one other is not always easy or recommended. But if somebody does a good performance, you know it is good and normally that rider has the potential to repeat it in other races. I would not say for certain that the Vuelta always has better performances...

As for the 24' Tour, I will just spoil some performances so you can compare: Stage 11 Puy Mary + Pertus Pogacar 94(+11)+80(+11) Vingegaard 90(+11)+90(+9) (his second best day in the tour and where he beat Pogacar. The perfomances on Puy Mary are easily underestimated because for a short climb...

@Red Rick Tarmac quality is a factor that is quite difficult to estimate for me, but I think with newer tires it is slightly less important than before. It also does not make a gigantic difference unless the quality is really bad or speeds are really high. In the 90s the tarmac was often...

The other Berzin performance from stage 5 is still coming. This was indeed a crazy performance, he already went incredibly hard the second last climb. Also the winner of the stage Frattini (total one hit wonder) and Zülle did amazing performances that day (both 99 and 98). Yes, this phenomenon...

Your points are all very valid. The adjustments are standardized, so of course they will be inaccurate for certain rider who can only perform after low kilojoules. Especially until the 80s basically no one could perform outside of time trials, while today almost anyone can perform decently after...

I don't think it is a big spoiler to tell you that he does not quite make the Top 50 yet. His performance from today is 73 (-5): 6.67 W/Kg for 18:20 I know you are not convinced by W/kg calculations. But with my adjustments the whole data set is very consistent and I would say there are barely...

It is a bit of a coincidence that there are a few short efforts in the first entries. I have calcaluated the Oude Kwaremont and have spent quite a bit of effort on it. The problem is that Pogacar never went all out for the whole climb in 2025. For cobbles, I simply increase the rolling...

Despite reading this forum for several years, I have never posted anything until now. Judging from the discussions, many posters are interested in comparing climbers and climbing performances. How much better than the rest is Pogacar really? Who is the better climber between Evenepoel, Roglic...
