That was a great effort, a VAM of almost 1600 for nearly 30min on a 6.6% steep climb, in a MTT half stage that came after a half stage that was raced hard from the start, impressive.
Can you try to compare his numbers to pros? I'm not an expert in W/kg stuff, etc.Mayomaniac said:That was a great effort, a VAM of almost 1600 for nearly 30min on a 6.6% steep climb, in a MTT half stage that came after a half stage that was raced hard from the start, impressive.

I thought that the climb was more like 7%?
Sibiu most likely, but Tour de l'Avenir is the only certainty, as that has been his big goal all season long. If he still has some form left - or energy for that matter - he could always target the Italian races come fall like Torino and Emilia.Red Rick said:What's up for Bernal after this by the way? I get the feeling he's outgrown the 2.2 races already and shoudl slowly move toward a few bigger fish.

He's basically confirming what you said. He'll ride Sibiu, go back to Colombia for at least a month to prepare ideally for Avenir and some races in September. He'll end his season in Lombardia.Tout heureux de ses trois victoires acquises en quatre jours, il va désormais partir en Roumanie, début juillet, pour y disputer le Tour de Sibiu. Avant de rentrer à la maison quelques semaines. "Si tout va bien, j'aimerais pouvoir repartir un mois en Colombie afin de me préparer au mieux pour le Tour de l'Avenir. J'avais terminé quatrième l'an dernier et j'espère faire encore mieux cette fois-ci. J'ai envie d'être en grande condition sur le Tour de l'Avenir puis sur toutes les compétitions qui suivront au mois de septembre. Et je terminerai ma saison sur le Tour de Lombardie où j'espère très bien finir ma saison".
I can see your point, but the Tour de l'Avenir also needs these guys to attract sponsors and journalists to the events.yaco said:Any rider at WT or PCT shouldn't be allowed to ride L'Avenir.
The Tour de l'Avenir is organized by ASO...GenericBoonenFan said:I can see your point, but the Tour de l'Avenir also needs these guys to attract sponsors and journalists to the events.yaco said:Any rider at WT or PCT shouldn't be allowed to ride L'Avenir.
I completely agree. Just as it was a nonsense that the BabyGiro used to allow riders up to 27, it is ridiculous that pros on top tier team can compete at l'Avenir. Those guys are pros and should be racing pros not espoirs.yaco said:Any rider at WT or PCT shouldn't be allowed to ride L'Avenir.
LOL. I remember when Fignon won Lavenir after winning the Tour de France.Zinoviev Letter said:I completely agree.

Yes, pros beating up espoirs in espoirs races has a long and inglorious history. Do you think that someone is blaming Bernal for being able to take advantage of a stupid rule rather than blaming the stupid rule?Escarabajo said:LOL.

Yeah I know, but do you think the ASO would keep on organizing it if it was a huge waste of money?swissfr said:The Tour de l'Avenir is organized by ASO...GenericBoonenFan said:I can see your point, but the Tour de l'Avenir also needs these guys to attract sponsors and journalists to the events.yaco said:Any rider at WT or PCT shouldn't be allowed to ride L'Avenir.
What race is this?Ruudz0r said:Bernal is flying towards his first pro win (.2 is not pro for me), he attacked with 5K to go on the final climb and his gap is now 50 seconds with 3K to go!
Sibiu Tour, 2.1 stagerace in Romania. He won it last year, but it was 2.2 back then.Angliru said:What race is this?Ruudz0r said:Bernal is flying towards his first pro win (.2 is not pro for me), he attacked with 5K to go on the final climb and his gap is now 50 seconds with 3K to go!
Nothing special if you see the rest of the top-10, great for him that he has his first pro win, but I don't rate this one higher than for example his dominant Savoie win.luckyboy said:Won by 1:23. Dominant
