I'm glad you can judge from a 16 minute effort on the very first climb of the entire race.
Figures were not spectacular in context.
mate, they went fast and that's what they are paid for to do
you don't have to find them an excuse
i don't watch for 6 hours guys blacking out when they hit a climb.professional sport means evolution.better medical care,better technology,better biochemistry,better everything
it wasn't at all just a 16 minutes effort,from the crossroad d97-d16 to the top they went at 27.50 km/h.it is relevant because ebh went at something like around 600 watts on that easy climbing part until the official start of the climb.when they arrived,the peloton was already destroyed.
plus they went at a devastating pace on the uncategorised climb.
also stage with some nice climbing meters at 40 km/h
man i'm curious how alberto will handle froomy,cobo and quintana in the vuelta.that will be fun
