Yes, that's what the internet is called, it records results
Again you're confused on what the 5.7w/kg figure actually represents.
If you conduct a lab based FTP test is goes for one hour. It records Functional Threshold Power (FTP) and is based on the riders weight and average wattage for one hour.
If Froome produced 5.7w/kg on a small climb for 3 minutes in a race it doesn't translate to a "big engine" as he was only able to produce the value for a short time. It does not translate to 5.7w/kg for one hour FTP test.
You're confused about the figures that are produced after a climb and that its the same as a lab based FTP test. People do make correlations but they are not the same figure.
Riders use their FTP value as a guide (with some computation) to know what range they can stay in when climbing.

And at Barloworld, he forgot to bring his big engine? What about that fact?
He had 'transformed' by the time he towed Wiggins around France in 2012. Again never mind the 'transformation' fact!
Barloworld had Sobakawa pillow's once you change that it is a different ballgame.
The supposed 'big engine' only turned up once prior to the 2011 Vuelta. It was for the crazy adaptive test in 2007 at the UCI. What are the odds?
Really? Do you have a list of absolutely every result of his to be able to verify that?
