His numbers are better this year.
I checked his numbers before Quebec this year and last year, and despite his 2025 training ride being 2 hours shorter, he did an average power of 295 watts (in another one he did 290 watts). Last year he showed a training ride of 6:20 h with an average power of 277 watts (NP of 326 w).
Average power of 295 w is probably 340-350 w of NP.

Zone 2 is around 55-75% FTP. I believe he is doing around 75%. So 345/0.75= 460 w. 460/65= 7,08 w.
His FTP is around 7 w/kg.

Give him the rainbow jersey, dude is flying!

impossible to say if he's better than 2024 based on this, as you say there's a difference of 2 hours, that training ride is much shorter, plus every training ride is different, maybe it's simply a day where he pushed a bit more or less. Imo in 2025 he has been better than ever in one day races, his level in flanders, PR and MSR has been higher than ever. But in long climbs at the tour he was a little bit below his 2024 level

Zone 2 ride you can maintain for 5/6 hours without problem. He will probably give us some updates in the next week.

@Peyroteo94 Another day for Soler in the breakaway, but he didn't have the strength to do anything on the Tour de France. I definitely hope they don't bring this guy back to the 2026 Tour. He's always training for the Vuelta.


I won't count on Mohoric for sure until the final day. He was also supposed to be at the last two World Championships, but in the end, he wasn't.

Tratnik isn't there. He wasn't in good shape.
We'll have to hope that Mohoric is there and believes it's too tough a World Championship for him and accepts being a domestique, because otherwise, everything will depend on Novak.

Soler is better with more racing days. If you ask me my opinion, I think Soler should not race the Tour next year. But he will, I'm sure of that.

No It´s obvious that's not the case.
At the Tour, he didn't even have the strength to work on chasing Arensman. Today, he works alone on chasing for his own ambition.
During the stage where Vingegaard gained time on Almeida, he didn't help and saved energy for the breakaways. He did the same thing we criticized for Ayuso. It's fair to say.

The level in the Tour is way higher. Don't forget that.

Yes, but you can see the difference when someone can't pull many kilometers in one race and in another are several stages pulling kilometers and kilometers alone :sweatsmile:

Back to the Worlds. I expect Mohoric to be a domestique. He's not in good shape, and this route is difficult for him.
I'm surprised he's going after not being in Glasgow.

Of course he will be a domestique, don't worry. Mohoric is a great guy.

Both Quebec and Montreal are locked. Narvaez is there to launch Pogi.

Carapaz-Narvaez duo is one of the most feared ¡for the WC
They've been in good form this season and have plenty of experience for a race without earpieces and chaos situation.
Let's see if they cooperate after last year's problems with the Ecuadorian federation and the Olympic Games.

If I had to bet, I'd say Ecuador is sure podium. I don't know what color or who, but I see them as favorites for the podium. Very dangerous opponents.

By the way, I saw McNulty isn't going to Rwanda. He was a medal contender in this time trial. Now Jay Vine has a better chance, if he doesn't crash again this year.

But they don't have a team. Who will get bottles from Ecuador?

That wasn't an issue for Carapaz at the Tokyo Olympics. I think both he and Narzaez could be very dangerous at the World Champs. To be honest there are a couple of UAE boys I'd be wary of if I was Pogacar, including Ayuso and Del Toro. Sivakov worked with Pog last year because it was his best chance of getting a medal, but riders like Ayuso, Del Toro and Narvaez would fancy their chances at victory if the race went their way.

But in Olympics is different. Every nation has few riders, so not a big disadvantage for Carapaz

They have the Cepeda cousins. But it's not as much of a problem for them because they're not themain favorites. Pogacar depends more on his team's control because they'll give him the favoritism and he'll be more closely watched.

Other nations need to ride this WC like UAE's opponents rode GdL. If they do that, they can win this race. If they don't attack and create a 3-4 minutes gap, it's probably game over.
