jamie burrow ftw. beat pantani's plateau de beille record in 2000 in ronde l'izard i think and beat the reiging amateur (u23) tt world champ Thor Hushvold in same race tt.jens_attacks said:courchevel was something like 6.5 w/kg, they did it 1;30 faster than pantani. and the 2005 tour was much faster.
that raid with ballon d'alsace(where portoleau said there were 40!!!!riders at 6,2 w/kg) was pure brutal on the road to mulhouse keeping behind an entire peloton. funnily enough, his values from 2005 were much more stable than those of 2007 if i remember right
