regarding watts,calculations and that silly debate.you have carapaz literally training 7w/kg for 20 as new training regime after pog set the benchmark.he is suffering as mf.twitter calculations are pretty spot on.
 
I listened to Laurent Jalabert comment on Pogi performance during stage 7 of Dauphine.

He says actually Vingegaard wasnt that far in terms of shape from Pogi. He says he looked more tired because he gave his all the last 500m, and Pogi went easy.

He said Pogi and Vingo gave about the same effort and they climbed about at the same speed. Most of the difference was made during the initial Pogi attack which he says maybe Vingo wasnt feeling confident enough in himself to really commit and try to follow Pogi.


He still commented after the finish line that Vingo was looking exhausted and that it was a hard day for him.

Watched the Jens Voigt interview on cyclingdane, He has lots of interesting things to say, picks Pogacar for the win, thinks margin will not be dominant
He didn’t sound very clued in generally though as he seemed convinced Ayuso would be in the UAE tour and was surprised to hear informed that Simon Yates was riding.

Also thought Bernal would be there and Ben O’Connor was a dark horse podium contender.

To be fair his stage by stage previews were worth listening to.
 
Is Pogacar happy watching Almeida at Suisse? He enters every climb at 50th position and looks too average compared to this weak competition. Maybe he is undercooked if he came down late from altitude.
I hope he improves significantly for the Tour.
