He’s going to crush Pogacar within a couple of years and I’m here for it. Unless he signs for UAE, in which case he can feck right off.

Naichaca dusted off that CdA of an aircraft carrier again

I really don't understand these kind of w/kg for 1830 m/h of VAM on 7%-ish climb. Even 7.2 w/kg seem too much. For reference, it's like 6.7 w/kg according to Ferrari formula (I realize those calculation guys often give 0.2-0.3 w/kg more than that but not so much more).

Find any excuse to increase it and then overadjust. They also normalize for 60kg which is stealing 0.1 W/kg anyway.

It is an irregular climb with several descents, so the real VAM is higher than that. I guess Naichaca adjusts for that, but his calculation seems totally over the top.
