Where?

On his local climb, Pfänder, on Strava

Training data is not race data. Contador did like 7.3 for 20 minutes in training while doing far less on Verbier.

Perhaps he might want to consider 'pushing 7/wkg for 18 minutes' in an actual race instead of on a passive aggressive strava post, then he might finish only 2 minutes behind team pursuits Ethan Hayter in the next mountainous stage race he does, rather than 3.

I think Bora should have taken buchmann to the giro purely because their team for the race is weird and he would offer more value than kock, Mullen or aleotti.

But I'm not under any illusions that he would be a podium threat.

If you're a 31 year old guy who was a pro for 9 years, and it takes a public dispute with your boss to be motivated enough to push yourself to the limit on a training climb, probably you won't be too successful

they chose Mullen over him, I get that he's super mad

I looked at the Lanterne Rouge climbing chart and it‘s officially meh

Maybe they nominate him for Hungary and he can show his form there. He was good in Frankfurt but not of the charts crazy good. In 2018 or 2019 he was better on the Mammolshain climb although the race was overall easier.

We also should wait until the Giro is over...who thought Denz would win 2 stages last year. Maybe Koch or van Poppel with Mullen can surprise. Rider selection for the mountaineous stuff looks really great with Schachmann and Martinez getting on the stage podium and Aleotti/Lipowitz with great to fantastic domestique work. Hard to argue about that atm.

Buchmann having a year he'll want to forget I think. Stage 2 of the TdS

"Examinations have revealed a broken collarbone and a broken hip. He‘ll need to undergo surgery for both injuries. We’re wishing Emu all the best and a swift recovery!"

He's out of contract after the season too. Really bad timing.
