Gesink on final climb, 409W.. which is already exceptional.
What Froome did is .. well, how?

I don't even know why people need to go over power numbers, or testing, or times.
It's pretty friggin obvious what's going on to the stupidest of people.
No one team, or one rider - in a "clean era" - can dominant like that.
There's no such thing as super hero's.
I agree. Because power analysis can potentially show that a performance exceeds what ought to be possible for human beings with human parameters, some are inferring that if power analysis doesn't show that, then the performance is clean. Or at least that there is no evidence it isn't.
That's a fallacy, though. Relative dominance is strong evidence of doping. If you look at today and go like "6.1w for 40 minutes? High, but believable. suspicious but we shouldn't jump to conclusions" when Froome has demolished the entire field with absolutely insane gaps, you can't be helped.

Belgian cycling journalist and commentator, I think. Also a guy who made the fatal mistake of tagging Froome and Armstrong in the same tweet.The Hitch said:Miburo said:LMAO froome blocked vanniewkerke. hahahhahahahahah COUND WHAT ARE YOU DOING????? xD

So if hackers have infiltrated Team Sky’s reports, it could have a devastating effect, whether evidence of Froome doping is found or not. It’s fitness data hacking as industrial espionage.
“It’s part of the game, isn’t it?” he said. “If he does well [on Tuesday], the rest of the Tour it’s ‘how do you know he’s not doping?’ The question of how to prove a negative is always going to be a difficult one,” said Brailsford.
“I used to worry about it a lot more, but I don’t any more. It’s part of the game. Just try to be honest, tell the truth, be open.”
one of the biggest belgian tv reporters/commentators. Never big on doping allegations or anything. He only made a comparison of the high spinning low gear between Armstrong and Froome.The Hitch said:Miburo said:LMAO froome blocked vanniewkerke. hahahhahahahahah COUND WHAT ARE YOU DOING????? xD

6W/kg for 30 would be grey. 6.1 W/kg for 42 is not. It's off the charts high. Quintana is your benchmark - 5.9W for 40m

1. Clearly Froome/Porte/Sky are very strong. Too strong to be clean? Don't ask me, I have no clue.
