This is incredible. 1:38 over 22.5km?? Even if it was a TT of old, 52.5 km or longer, I’d call it suspicious. This is far beyond any realm of even regular doping. I can’t believe that Pogačar, who is likely doping, is that far behind.

I’ve never posted in the clinic before but I think it’s time.

Trying to keep up with the comments from today but there’s always a new page when I’m done. Can this even be done without some kind of motor?

I’m mad. Considering selling all my bikes.

Hm, disagree in the sense that Pogacar's 2020 winning ITT was nowhere close to this in terms of gap to the rest. In fact, there you actually could make the point that Roglic really visibly cracked while today Pogacar in himself had a crazy gap to the rest.
It was an overall statement, not just a singuar ITT
They are obviously both not clean.. hence my post.

You should not let entertainment (as this is) draw you away from something you love.
We have to accept that professional sports today is dirty (not just cycling) in terms of doping, corruption and so forth.

That doesnt really tell you anything since the ITT's historically has been way longer, it is only recently they have become shorter and shorter. So how could it really be precedented? Those kind of gaps have happened several times on the older longer ITT's. You cant say with certainty the gaps would be smaller had the ITT's been shorter.
You do know there's other races beside the TdF that historically often had shorter ITTs, right
And you do know that yes absolutely of course longer ITTs lead to greater gaps, how can you even question this, are you having a laugh mate, are you pulling our legs, are you having one massive giraffe

The Russians were doping in athletics for years. They weren't crushing everyone. Doping doesn't explain this. Whatever is happening, it is much more significant than doping.
I am sure some will come and tell us all about ACTN3/R577X
This is also why I was so good at sports for sure..

Is French uniquely suited to accuse peopel of doping?

Average W calculation would be nice, but normalized power is so ***.
The average power is in the graphic, it's 5.42 for Calmejane.

Normalized definitely makes more sense to talk about in this scenario in terms of measuring what should be humanly possible.
