Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[burning]

So did Pogi just push 7,3 w/kg on a 40-minute climb?

This is a clown show. Gianetti has no shame, they're not even trying to hide it any longer. He'll go to La Vuelta and win that as well. The once-thought-impossible feats have become absolute standards for this freak. This year he'll do the triple crown, next year he'll win all five monuments. There is zero shame, all greed, they want it all, and to make matters even worse they're doing it all as a sportswashing project for a despicable regime.

It's probably around 6.8-7.0 w/kg, which still beats Riis, LMAO

I think Pogacar also beat mr 60% performance on Hautacam, and Jonas is very close to it, that is some next-level stuff

Above Dragon level performances.

They will never be as nuclear as this Pogi. This is the nuclear fusion of doping, Pogi gets his energy from the stars.

nah, today was an antimatter bomb

Remco's thermo nuke was no match

Insane time gaps.
Latest registered finisher at the moment
#24 Jakob Fuglsang + 20'58

Edit:
#27 Javier Romo 27'02

UAE dont even care anymore. This is so over the top that any sane person can see whats happening

It is not Just Pogacar though, even while losing minutes the rest of the bunch is still outclimbing peak Armstrong/ Basso...

 

[DrSahl]

2 minutes on Armstrong yesterday...
3 minutes on Pantani today...

I mean, back-to-back days too?

A few years ago things were "believable" again.

But these guys are 25 and 27 years old... your V02 max does not magically increase year after year, and we know the gains that bikes give are marginal up-hill.

I remember back when people steadfastly claimed I was nuts for saying Armstrong was so obviously doped.. like it could not be more obvious.
The people that defended him back then went with the "but everybody is doped" but come on.. when its like this, its no fun for anyone and it makes cycling look like wrestling... where its staged.

I am extremely worried about the health risk of not just Pog and Jonas, but also the new young riders that come into the sport.. This is why I tried my best to bias my kids into other sports and well hobbies.. they can watch Cycling on the TV instead or take a run bike tour with me.

Anyway. In 10 years from now, we will either debate a scandal or people will keep the "Pog was the best ever" mantra with discussion about if he was clean or not.

I said it before and I'll say it again: this is the cycling version of the space race between US and USSR. The sky is not the limit, everything is allowed.

Nothing crazy happened today. Just the best rider of his generation beating a guy with a punctured lung, broken ribs and bad TDF prep by 1 minute.

Remco still faster than Pantani. Gives perspectives.

Yeah, about ~10 riders did beat them right now, this is great to watch for me

 

[Bavarianrider]

He would have easily put 2 minutes into Hautacam Riis today with this Watt/ Kilo level.

I'm starting to feel sorry for commentators who have to hype and defend this *** while keeping a straight face/not laughing.

Well at least they are not ridiculously boring like some previous Tours (2012 and 2016 come to mind). Vingegaard and Pogacar trading wins is more fun than that I'd say.
Lol that Uno X rider in interview (Johanessen?) said he doesn't think he does the same sport as Pogacar/Vingegaard. (although he then praised them)

There is no health risk involved, this stuff probably cures cancer and in the long run makes you immortal.
It's just the next step in human evolution.

 

[noob]

Bernal has said he's back at his pre crash level. That says even more.

 

[houtdffan]

Remco still faster than Pantani. Gives perspectives.

yeah, by nearly a minute

But a thermonuke is no match for an antimatter bomb

 

[fbjim]

Landa missed it by a handful of seconds

At least you must have less regrets regarding Rogla's crash and his lost (not too big) chances for victory!

I'll be honest here & I understand he hurt himself (which is not nice, at all) & I do love the guy... but you're right.

I hope he's at home right now with his feet up, resting with a glass of wine & enjoying his Sunday.

No regrets, at all. The Tour has entered into a new dimension in which Rog & his level of riders have no place on the top two places of the podium. Even Evenepoel should probably ask himself what he's even doing here, i.e. starving himself to get blown away like that just for the sake of a podium spot. I mean wouldn't he rather focus on monuments? It seems like a lot of effort for a pretty boring result.

As long as Pog & Vinge are there, no one is getting a sniff at TdF glory. No one.

What's the full time for the climb by the way? One post says 39'30, one says 39'47 but I don't know how trustable the sources are (any posts from ammattipyoraily for example?)

 

[Blobs]

So far he will have to settle for being the strongest rider post the hematocrit rule, but he's still young; he'll be pushing those 90's watts soon enough.

I foretold the profecy yesterday. Didn't expect it to come true so soon though, lol

Surely climbing records will have the time on its homepage within a few hours. That``s the most credible source.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Enjoy the show folks! This is clean cycling!

I mean [again], even Landa almost broke Pantani's record. It's far from just UAE.

I don't understand what is happening. I have no doubt they are all doping, but that the entire peloton routinely rides this fast on hard stages is... No words.

 

[meat puppet]

Remember the days when doc veloclinic got airtime to raise eyebrows for lowly 5,9-6,1w/kg 35-50 min performances

For some reason the site is down currently lol.

 

[noob]

This is the first time I actually thought 'motors'

That or a bribed antidoping by all favorites
