Sub 35 minute ascent of Alpe d'Huez coming this year.

Always on another planet, decimating everyone and everything in his path, only to "suddenly" endure such an epic humiliation, getting gapped by Remco (!!!) in Kigali. How does he fall like that? Was it just the hangover from an illness or poor preparation?! Super strange. It should be a day of study.

It's these weird off days that I think tell a tale or two. They're utterly random and sometimes relatively dramatic. And they're not part of a contiguous block of gradually declining form brought on by illness or fatigue, the normal thing you see very often affecting mere mortals (that is, everyone else). No, they just happen albeit not very often, and then he's back to his absolute best the next day or by the next race a week or so later. And they seem to take place on time trials at least as often as during normal races. I can't say for certain why they occur. But a reasonable explanation or theory would be that they occur because something mechanical stops working.

Better batteries required.

But but but... Seixas must have a motor too, right?

Measure your energy, your attacks, don't win too much, and don't do it with too many unorthodox performances. All this no longer exists.
Froome prime looks like a junior, Contador performance in Verbier is replicated daily.
By now the crowd has become anesthetized; this is the norm.


No one except us and a few X-maniacs is asking questions. Will he ever be caught?

Let’s see him go up against boy wonder first. If Seixas starts winning every type of race under the sun without breaking sweat then we can talk. For now, stay on topic.

IF Pogacar does, he  might well too. That would make sense
