https://twitter.com/ammattipyoraily/status/1304515485342539776?s=19 Is this the highest VAM ever? Must be up there with contadors famous attack of Armstrong. I'd be more sus but legs are fresher and there was a group of 3 including Porte who weren't that far behind.

Bernal said he didn’t crack at all, he was putting out his best ever numbers but just being left behind. If that’s true it’s pretty incredible that Porte and Landa rode away from him, never mind the two Slovenians. Weird Tour.

It would also fit with EF being adamant Uran could win the tour, he's putting out bernal numbers but that's not enough this year.

Yeah the performances are a bit  this year, similar to the EPO years with all these attacksMy theory: Skineos are still on the level they've always been, but now everyone else is on some new synthetic EPO-like compound and overtaking them

tbf Bernal dropped time on the ultra-steep ramp finishes in the Pyrenees last year and made gains on the big multiple mountain days in the Alps. It’s clearly where he’s vulnerable. But it is hard to completely disregard that testing was almost entirely stopped during lockdown.

Loving Africa Chaps posted:https://twitter.com/ammattipyoraily/status/1304515485342539776?s=19 Contador did ~1900VAM for 21min up Verbier in 2009, which is a 7% average. That’s honestly a lot more suspect than ~2150VAM For 7.5min up 13%. The latter numbers line up with Andy Coggan’s power curve...Contador’s were off the charts.

Bernal looked awful at the Dauphine and he couldn’t even keep pace with Richie Porte. Let’s not pretend he’s “in peak form” when he was making excuses about back problems last month. It’s pretty clear Ineos dropped the ball on a coherent training schedule during the pandemic with all their GC contenders, including Froome, Thomas and Carapaz.

I have a bad feeling about today's stage. I rate that group, but it's waaaaaaay too small e: OK, at least we're getting some galaxy brain strategerizing from Team Sunweb

peanut- posted:Bit weird at the end that, felt like they just let him ride off They did, I think. Sagan was gassed from chasing down Hirschi, Jumbo Visma didn't really have a horse in the race at any point, and CCC were probably entirely focused on GVA, who also did some uphill chasing. Plus every sprinter was only in that group for the points.

From what I hear, this years top climbers (mostly from two countries, hmm) are beating KOMs that have been around for decades. The peyresourde has been in the tour forever and pogacar bettered the fastest time by 45 seconds or something.

https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/mpcc-signals-alarming-rise-in-doping-cases-in-cycling/quote:The Movement For Credible Cycling (MPCC) has signaled a sharp rise in the number of doping cases in cycling during 2019 compared to the previous six years. The organisation used its credibility barometer to determine that the number of cases have almost doubled in one year and has issued a warning. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/operation-aderlass-investigators-discover-new-doping-product/ quote:German and Austrian police in charge of the Operation Aderlass anti-doping investigation have uncovered a new doping product, a synthetic blood substitute reportedly already used in the peloton despite not being available on the market. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/romain-bardet-this-is-the-highest-level-tour-de-france-of-my-career/ quote:“I think I’m participating in the highest level Tour of my career, the level is really impressive,” Bardet said. “I’m doing performances that I’ve never done in the past. I’m breaking records, so the form is very good, but the level is just ultra-high. All the top players are here, with only one or two exceptions. It’s really a race of a very high level and I like it when there’s a battle like that.” Yeah, just lmao at this tour.

This has been disproven, at least in Bernal's case.  There is nothing extraordinary about 7.2-7.3w/kg over 7m21s for top world tour climbers. On the other hand 6.7w/kg for 7m59s isn't a TdF winning performance.
