Michael Woods on Pogacar:

The best rider in the world.
Essentially, one of the greatest of all time already, if not the greatest of all time already.

if he didn't say that, I apologize to you personally, there's no need for you to insinuate something that I said, I just spiced up my style a little with mother-in-law and buying a dress, because if I was direct, I would be banned

Exactly, no one knows the exact extent that performance drops at sub optimal temperatures. But we know that activities above 1500m and sub 10ºc are going to result in reduced power output.
Impact of a Cold Environment on the Performance of Professional Cyclists: A Pilot Study
The practice of physical activity in a variable climate during the same competition is becoming more and more common due to climate change and increasingly frequent climate disturbances. The main aim of this pilot study was to understand the impact of ...

"However, the results of our primary study allow us to affirm that in cold environmental conditions, the athletes studied were not able to perform at their maximum potential mainly during the phases of climbing the circuit performed five times.
In fact, the interaction between normalized ambient temperature and the elevation gradient significantly modifies thermal (core temperature), physiological (heart rate) and performance factors (power output, speed and cadence).
If we were to make strategic recommendations for professional cyclists who must perform in cold ambient conditions, we would advise the following measures: (1) implementing training and practice strategies to provide performance experience in cold environments and to acclimatize to the cold by training in the same conditions to those that may be encountered in competition, (2) rethinking pre-race warm-up methods to allow athletes to increase their internal and muscle temperature prior to the start by reaching an optimal temperature, (3) adapting exercise drinks to the ambient temperature to optimize the hydration of the athletes in these conditions, (4) advocating a better management of clothing (more insulating clothing) to avoid the cooling of the skin and the muscles before the start of the race and during the race"
Bearing in mind that Pogs supposed Z2 is 5-5.5w/kg, he would have been at best in the lower end of that range whilst riding in the pack yesterday and subsequently not at optimum temperature before the climb even started. He was wearing less clothing than his competitors and still put 1min+ into them.

@mou infectious enthusiasm aside i do wonder if Pogacar will suffer the same burnout we saw last year in the Tour and the Worlds TT by showing this sort of form now, in Strade, in Liege and in the Giro and then to the Tour. Last year also showed us he’s not immune to crashes, so it may not all be plain sailing in the months ahead.
go back 30 pages on this thread and the answer to your question will tell itself, my little help for your question is the terms Javier Sola and Inigo San Millan😉

Can you explain why the screenshot comes from a video if you have direct access to the files ?
Can you explain why your phone is set to Chinese language ?
for others to wonder about it
or did I fabricate this information, maybe the Chinese president passed it on to me, and maybe I'm a time traveler, there are a lot of unknowns,and maybe I'm screwing you all up and what Pog is doing now is just luck and I had no idea what would happen on Strada and yesterday, maybe
I get the theory - changing one Spanish trainer for another one. I get the empirical evidence - more watts. I get the good early season results- strade, yesterday. But, i don’t believe this is enough to justify wild optimism for the next four years. The best numbers ever adage has existed since i first joined this form. But Tadej has always had awesome fresh watts, he’s suffered in very specific circumstances against Jonas in the Tour with accumulated fatigue & potentially heat. I don’t think power files can show if he has an answer to that yet. He may do, but for that we need to wait for July and le tour de los cuatro grandes.

He has staked his position as a prophet, which seems to upset a number of folks on here. We can only wait and see and hope pog stays wheels down to know.

I think Pog wants to win the whole lot, the GT’s and monuments and Worlds obviously but I can see him eventually going to try to win all the week races he hasn’t won yet, like Suisse, Dauphine, Basque, Romandie etc.
If he stays fit he is going to have a ridiculous palmares when he retires.
here I will help you a little, let's say that San Millan and Sola are chefs and they got on a plate the best quality food and spices in the world that no other restaurant in the world has and San Millan despite all that makes good food, tasty but the dish is not perfect, something is missing and the restaurant doesn't get 5 * because San Millan is a below average cook and when Sola gets the same ingredients to cook everyone is delighted, the restaurant gets 5*, everyone is shocked at how well the flavors are affected, pure perfection from the food and because that's that restaurant is the best in the world, with the best reputation, do you understand now?😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Noooo,but I can tell you to go for spiritual renewal to purify yourself a little
@Gwbert if you don't understand even now, then I wouldn't want to offend you because that's not my intention, but dear brother, you will never understand

I know a guy who can almost sustain the same power in altitude(col de la croix fer 2067m), who can do it in cold conditions, without going full gas(imagine of he went full gas), 6.7 w/kg in almost 20 minutes(65 kg standard weight). This was the training version of 2023, this year can be better.Exactly, no one knows the exact extent that performance drops at sub optimal temperatures. But we know that activities above 1500m and sub 10ºc are going to result in reduced power output.

The experts can calculate this to sea elevation.

Hello everyone,
i would just like to shine some light on the recent poster @mou. He got that training peaks file from a Chinese social media site, where it was posted by mistake. Just thought you guys might want to know that.

It would be really funny Xi Jinping was so invested in Pogacar-Vingegaard rivarly that is used China's military intelligence to hack Pogi strava and take a peak at his watts

I told you nicely that you will never know what the real truth is, I add a little something somewhere, I take away something to spice things up and raise the hype, which I achieved, I raised this thread from the dead and everything I said would happen is happening, and you now think what you want, no one has ever told a fairy tale to children without putting a little of their own flair into it, if you understand me
