Re: Re:
I agree there's a reason. Don't know if we can post about it here thoughskidmark said:malakassis said:people should understand that fatigue is accumulated. but it is basically a nonlinear phenomen. you cant simply extrapolate from stage 11 to stage 16 and so on. dumoulin has to lift these 12kg+ compared to climbers on and on. he will lose massive time
There's a reason why Contador is a favourite for every GT he's in, while riders who apocryphally drop everyone in training like Jesus Hernandez and Fabio Duarte are pretty anonymous in the peloton. Or why Coen Vermeltfoort isn't dominating the sprint world but Mark Cavendish did for years. Or why Simon Spilak or Rui Costa can win one week races but have never been close in a GT.
