He's right, for some reason experts, commentators and journos are so extremely obsessed about conserving energy. And when the riders conserve energy, they are mad that the stages are boring.
was about to type it said it after yesterday stage I get that some find it weird and it is aswell but many things are wierd with him? Winning flandern vs Mdvp and crushing Vingegaard in the mountanis with ease logic dont apply to him. He is very well aware of the tactics behind it but my point yesterday he is just that much stronger than anyone else so he properly dont even notice that sprint yesterday even.... And I even think ridding the tour last year with a fractured wrist, fractured I mind you amplifies that aloot.
Yea exactly so never change I get the logic behind it even but thats not why people turn no the tv its beacuse of him and when he is that much stronger if properly dont effect him as much as one would think it normally does tot others. Its just one of a kind.He's right, for some reason experts, commentators and journos are so extremely obsessed about conserving energy.

He’s the low key mouI to read that and was thinking wow went to his profile and he seems to have some inside? hella cool
If that guy hangs out regulary with riders thats so cool for the forum!!He’s the low key mou
He even looked the least tired at the end. He will just ride away from them with ease again tomorrow.
Im not sure the mountain was long enough today some might say it wasnt enough mountains or long enough still..Shades of Verbier this. What an absolutely crazy performance.
Thats the best climbing performance of the century holy ....

He should be obligated to race with a fractured wrist from now every race either that or sprint on every flat stages and come top 10 if not hes kicked out just to even it out a little.
Yeah I mean I wont jinx but a crash has always been the thing stopping him. If he is at 100% its never been close. Thats just the reality of it.Don't jinx him. That broker wrist cost some of us LBL anticipatrd showdown and also 3rd week of 2023 TDF edition which was epic until "I am gone. I am dead."
Which also again puts Vingegaard a bit in perspective. He probably could have found additional Watts - everything else would just defy any logic. But he seemes to have reached a level very close to last year actually.The Top 10 Climbing Performances of 2022 - Lanterne Rouge
As the 2022 cycling season has come to a close, it is time to rank the top 10 climbing performances of the year. An admittedly hard task, considering the multitude of impressive performances from various riders throughout the year.

With the 2023 season behind us, it is once again time to rank the best of the best - the top 10 climbing performances of the year. The climbing level this season was so exceptionally high, that performances that would have cracked the Top 10 in each of the last 20 years had to be left out (they...lanternerouge.com
Indeed, spectacular performance. Didn't even notice initially. Better than anything Vingegaard has shown so far (see above). Marie Blanque coming closest.
Not surprised find it weird someone does was always gonne be the results when he wast injured. Hardly hard to believe he is better than when riding with a fractured wrist.View: https://twitter.com/NaichacaCycling/status/1812186697477591401?t=NjKdNIvlMPN5MoevxYavlw&s=19

Jonas did one of his best numbers todayImpressive indeed.
Not 100% certain yet about these numbers, though - given the fact that around 15 riders finished within 1:30 or less. If above numbers are true, also all these 15 riders would have had extraordinary W/kg today (above 6.5, I guess), right?
