7W/kg is a number that will provoke controversy and leave questions open for quite some time.
I also can’t overlook man Mauro Gianetti, a doped Italian, who makes Pogacar's success doubt practically everyone who follows cycling at least a little.
We saw such a suspicious freshness on the ITT 2 years ago with the Sky team (Froom, Thomas) and to this day they have not been given it because anti-doping control has outdated methods.
Every layman can see on TV what the difference was between Pogacar and the other competitors after 3 weeks of racing.
Looking at the ascent records at: La Planche des Belles Filles;
2020:5,9 km@8,5%---16:10---average speed 21.90 km/h (Tadej Pogacar)-RECORD
2019:5,9 km@8,5%---17:30---average speed 20.23 km/h (Thomas Pidcock) -Strava
2019:7,0 km@8,7%---20:02---average speed 20.97 km/h (Geraint Thomas)-finish at 1139m
2017:5,9 km@8,5%---16:12---average speed 21.85 km/h (Fabio Aru)
2014:5,9 km@8,5%---16:44---average speed 21.16 km/h (Vincenzo Nibali)
2012:5,9 km@8,5%---16:20---average speed 21.67 km/h (Chris Froome)
So, Pogacar was, including chang of bike, way faster than anyone who has ever competed on this slope.
As I have mentioned before , because of radio problems, UAE could not control it (him), as they wanted him to slow down a bit, as he was flying too much , as they didn’t want him to make such a supernatural performance and that big time gap to Tom D. and Wout V.A., which raises now a lot of suspicions and speculation all over the world., and also in Slovenia, where there is a mass of opinions-posts across the board, that this performance stinks a lot.
