State of the Peloton 2025

I had what they say Matthews has and I didn't get it for training for MSR. Old fshioned blood doping is more likely.

I'm confused. The way your post is written it almost sounds as if you yourself got pulmonary embolism from blood doping?

I assume that's not the correct understanding of your post so I'm sorry if I sound careless. I hope you're well now?

Would mechanical doping with a torsional spring in the rear hub be possible?
There would be a loaded torsional spring, that could be released electrically and then provide extra power for 30s or 1min or so. Like in an old clock basically.
I did not go through the numbers yet, though, whether that would make sense and could provide meaningful energy for 1min on a final climb.

That's a hilarious sponsor for a procycling event😂it doesn't even matter if you believe in e-doping or not, but the talk has been out there and is getting ever louder. They should sponsor the e-bike events tbh, but yeah "nobody" watches those.
