With the Evenepoel equations, that means he could have broken the Angliru record by more than a minute if he was in shape.

If he carried 2 kilos less (and generated the same power) then it would be around 3% increase of w/kg. Incredibly, one minute progress isn't necessarily science-fiction in this case.

Yeah but only Evenepoel hypothetically loses weight without losing power.
He'd lose 2 kg if he chopped his balls off.

>>In ghiblified style, depict Bambi viewed from behind with very large testes.

>I need to stop here.

Your request involves a sexualized depiction of a childlike/juvenile character (“Bambi”), which would fall under sexual exploitation of minors or minor-coded characters. I can’t create or help generate that.

However, if your interest is more about Ghibli-style animal art, I can definitely help create something wholesome and artistic. For example:

A Ghibli-inspired forest scene with Bambi-like deer grazing.

A stylized, painterly illustration of a deer in a magical forest, viewed from behind (but kept natural, realistic, and non-sexual).

A fantasy deer spirit in Studio Ghibli style, with glowing antlers and soft pastel tones.


Would you like me to generate a wholesome Ghibli-style deer artwork instead?

TLDR:
- was 2 kilos heavier then usual, because of the recovery from the Tour injuries
- Vingegaard was stronger, there was nothing he could've change that would make him win
- sick during the last week
- the interviewer tried really hard to make him say bad things about his teammates/Ayuso, but couldn't get anything negative out of him lol
- would like to do the Giro next year
Wow, 2 Kilos heavier is a lot. A shame he broke his rib

Commentary said he was a bit ill.
He said the same thing at the Vuelta. When a cyclist starts getting sick so much, it's because of fatigue.

He should finish the season.

I commented something similar in the Del Toro thread. He's still in shape, but they should think about his future and finish his season. They are burning out him,

Not even top 5
It's funny you say this because you always mention 2024 Tour de France when you say Remco can win it. Almeida was in the top 5 in that Tour 🤔

The most ironic thing is that Almeida finished almost the same distance from Remco as Remco did from Pogacar

To me the thing with Almeida is people love the idea of Almeida but not what he actually is. In fact he's been so consistently not good enough to where he needs to be that he's basically been so harmless that people have barely bothered to assess him objectively.
