Wout van Aert

[Nick2413]

Why do they outlaw it?

Too much visibility for other teams to dissect. He even includes HR which can be pretty telling about effort level etc.

In most other sports like track and field this would probably never even be remotely considered , but thankfully cycling is special and we get far more intimacy than almost any sport.

On the attack AGAIN

 

[PhiLiz]

He should've gone for the Points-KOM double...

[Jeppeb]

Van Aert is riding this tour on some serious high octane shiiet

The whole Jumbo team are ridiculous.

Complete mockery of this "clean" sport.

[Pirazziattacks]

Leave Wout alone, he doesn't even have to 500+ watts needed to beat Riis' record.

 

[fbjim]

seeing some very normal things right now

Literally the only rider I find more suspicious than the general peloton

 

[Bronstein]

Blowing up the forum as well.

[firefly3323]

Just when you think pro cycling can't get any more unbelievable .....

 

[burning]

I would wait a few days to make a comparison with previous freakshows, but this was definitely a spectacular performance, straight from 1997 Festina or 1994 Gewiss.

 

[therealthing]

Most suspicious performance since???

 

[GuntherL1]

Looking forward to the climbing times on Hautacam...

 

[GuntherL1]

Most suspicious performance since???

Pogacar TdF 2021 on the Col de Romme.

Crazy thing is he never even looks like he has to go that deep. MVPD on the other hand...went beyond his own limits to win stage 1 of the Giro - think his max HR hit 201. Interesting that MVDP is one of the very few guys willing to post all their data - including HR.

To be fair, Wout frequently does not look like he is at the limit, even when Matthieu has cracked him!
