[May0maniac]

look how skinny the guy is:

You even asked for more data or even a video for your climbing records website in the comments, good job!
The article also says that he'll try Mont Ventoux today!

He isn't suspended according to UCI (his name don't show up in the lists that are updated in their website) so he can put Dawg in his place next July.

Someone tweet Tinkov about this, would love to see Baron Oleg with the Cobra.

No one is going to hire a guy who cant look after his own blood bags properly.

He does look a little heavy there...

 

[jens_attacks]

photos can be misleading. he's at his 2008 tour weight i guess

i hope too that it was a camera on the car

So what was his time on Ventoux

Obviously worse than on his previous attempt.

"putroppo il vento mi ha impedito di fare il record ma fino allo chalit rejnard il tempo era da record 44 minuti"

"Unfortunately the wind prevented me from making the record but until Chalet Reynard the time was a record-breaking 44 minutes"

Maybe he tells us it was the wind but in reality went full gas (trying to match Mayo's intermediate times at certain points) and blew up 3/4 into the climb.

Either way, record pace for 44 of 55 minutes is quite promising. It would be good to see the checkpoint times.

Chalet Reynard can't be true then. From there it's more than 6 km to the top.

At mutant speed of 22.5 - 23 km/h you need at least 16 minutes for 6 km. Add 44 minutes and you get no less than 60 minutes.

Either Charlet Reynard or the 44 minutes can't be true.

Either Charlet Reynard or the 44 minutes can't be true.

Classic Ricco.
