And at the risk of getting howled at by Froome devotees:
If someone says, "more than 80," they have forgotten, despite WCC keeping records, etc.
Why don't they ask WCC for the figure? You know, journos and stuff?
If he was nearly 90, the Frenchy would have said that, rather than "more than 80." He's being polite without lying outright.
I'm guessing it was under 85ml/kg/min (which would have been "well over 80" - "beaucoup plus de").
