It's disturbing that a less known is close to Indurain's record. Unless he's a champion in the making.

On climbing records they said thay yates climbed alpe di mera in 28min and 55 seconds, 9.1 km at 9.7%, at 6.5 w/kg. I don't think it was so much, certainly it was 6.3/6.4 w/kg for yates.

Yates' climb was steeper while his climbing speed (1807 m/h) was slower than Pogacar's at Peyresourde (1840 m/h), which means that his watts/kg were lower than Poga's 6.5 w/kg (or 6.6 w/kg according to one formula)

He is only 24 with a decent junior background so it's not completely unbelievable that he could be a top tier climber emerging at this age but...

To be 100% fair, "Big" Mig had no business owning any climbing records! Surprised this one lasted as long as it did

You can be a top tier climber emerging but you can't almost beat indurain's record! Unbelievable, we all know how indurain did that time.

Test negative?

Not sure what you meant by "no business". Miguleon had biggest engine ever and La Plagne is good for tempo climbing. His performance was incredible back in 1995.

A reference to his master class of doping. Of course he had a huge engine!

As for those incredible performances from the 90s, well...his rivals weren't saint either.

It was closer to 6.0W/kg:

[roundabout]

52 seconds faster vs Kuss on La Plagne is circa 0.15 W/kg more at least, so I would say 6.2 W/kg is more likely to be the power output than 'only' 6.

Can't wait to see this kid with UAE. Gonna be Pog 2.0

 

[F_Cance]

Quite a thing to see. He is gapping known u23 riders more than he distanced some spanish no names last year.

 

[BlueRoads]

And they can say "he already showed it in his junior years".

This is an arms race now. Amazing thing to see, one of those rare moments when it's open bar and the first who gets the bottle gets served.

He was rolling in the finish line. You could see him pretty much slowing down.

With Covid came the eternal tail winds!!!!

 

[F_Cance]

actually was a solid headwind today after Chalet, making it even more impressive

 

[Ilmaestro99]

When I mentioned that he was 1min faster than Lance in 2002, someone replied that they improved the road surface since then and that that was what made the difference to Lance's time, not any kind of enhancement. lol

And it had headwind in the last kilometres.
