I feel this every time one of them emerges out of nowhere. i wasn't that surprised, tbh. Just another routine 'miracle' of marginal gains. Nothing to see.

Climbing to almost 2700 meters with actual 'climbers' and beating all but one is not just a red flag, it's a red flag with fireworks and very loud music, with the occasional punch in the face.
I guess G went there....![]()

That's right. A former pursuit racer is now climbing with the best on a HC climb. Cycling has become more fake than pro-wrestling.

Maybe you should try watching before commenting.
He finished 6th, not 2nd. He was beaten by a neo-pro.

It's clear that they are always two steps ahead of the rest in their knowledge about how to transform their riders into machines.

I guess they are and Cookson just waves a union jack back at them. Probably want Hein used to do, wave a stars&stripes, when Armstrong was strolling his TdFs.
