I'm sure there may be something to it, but the aggregation of marginal gains as applied to riders like Froome, Rogers, Wiggins, and Porte seems that there is a variable that accelerates matters dramatically once marginal gains reach a certain threshold, whatever the hell that threshold may be. Must have some fancy math that explains how marginal gains shift from an aggregate of sums to a multiplier. Sure there must be gains to be found, but not enough to explain the continual need to raise eyebrows everyday at the performance of those mentioned above.

Not buying it. Seems like marketing jargon, if anything. It's nice though, I like the fact that Sky really do believe their own bull****.
