Better GT rider in their primes: Evans vs Nibali

[thrawn]

You do recognize most of the climbs, no?

Not a single of Evans' performances are near Hautacam, Risoul and Belles Filles of Nibali.

I'm actually surprised that Rasmussen & Contador's numbers in 2007 were lower than Nibali's this year.

To answer the poll: Nibali.

Sprinting like possessed and then stopping and sprinting again does not help the average time. One of the reasons why Evans managed to limit his losses.

Quite funny to see Nibali going faster than 2007 Tour climbs. Oh well, best not discussed here or I might get a letter from Vino.

I thought the W/kg was higher in PdB. They climbed faster than Armstrong in 2007.

It's actually even funnier that you yesterday seemed convinced that AC would have crushed Nibali.
But yes, better not get into Vino's letter territory.

Contador's w/kg in the Vuelta proved that.

But for Nibali "I'm clean because my dad told me to not come back home if I doped" those numbers are hilarious.

Contador's w/kg in the Vuelta proved that.

At most it proves that the Vuelta is ****ing easy. And we didn't really need a proof to say that.

His Farrapona numbers were better than the record on PdBF. Now compare those two profiles and tell me which one was easiest.

_O_ Netserk and I don't agree with Jojo/el pisti often but he is right about this

You should compare the whole race, not just the stage. And the way it was raced. Being pulled by Froome sure gets you better numbers than being pulled by Fuglsang.

edit: btw, we're OT here.

Fuglsang didn't pull on the stage with the record time on PdBF.
