Judging from what I saw; not normal
I am confused - is the reincarnation of Rasmussen now worse or better for cycling than a dominating Pogi?

Yes, but his leap last year while not Dawg levels of "out of nowehere" is not exactly a good example for "natural progression".Just checking in.Okay, today (Stage 11, 2022 TDF) was a bit on the thermonuclear side. -- Have to see how the rest of this TDF plays out before conferring "not mortal" status on Jonas. To temper things a bit, today's stage winner was the runner-up in last year's TDF, so, not an "out of nowhere" jump in comparative performance.
They need to give him a Bjarne haircut before the Hautacam stage to mess with his opponents head!He is the successor of Riis and Rasmussen. The lineage of the mutants.
Liking the idea, but sadly wearing a helmet will not do justice to the cut. But hopefully he at least casually drops back to check the opponents form before attacking.They need to give him a Bjarne haircut before the Hautacam stage to mess with his opponents head!
Wout's performance this year is more believable because his climbing is not on the same level as 2020-21TJV overall today didnt spook me. See Roglic's weakness doing an effort on the final climb or Kuss and SK being somewhat limited in their contributions, or Covid hit Majka outlasting every TJV domestkque on the final climb. Suspicions about WVA and Vingegaard are understandable but the entire team didn't do anything spooky that I saw today given their apparent budget advantage. In the coming weeks we'll see them beat the opposition with their wallets.
About 6w/kg for 35min, last climb of the stage. Not half bad at that altitude and after having already traded punches on the telegraphe-galibier, I say: View: https://twitter.com/ammattipyoraily/status/1547247318533115905
Brisk efforts from WVA as well.
Yes. A top end performance and definitely something to be sceptical about, but not something I'd call anywhere near conclusive.The numbers don't seem nuclair, but it looked that way Maybe due to the heat and the complete standstill of some favorites.
6,34 w/kg in the final 5 km of Granon.Yes. A top end performance and definitely something to be sceptical about, but not something I'd call anywhere near conclusive.
