      Riders going faster than they ever have, year on year, the only time this was happening previously was when the Peleton was doping!
      Make your own assumptions but the governing bodies hid it last time too.

      Iโ€™m just another bike rider, I can go do a climbing route of 80 miles and break a sprint of 1300+ watts at the end of it regularly. If I can do that much some pro cyclist should be able to do this performance on the start of the tour np. This is not the type of performance number to put ๐Ÿ’‰ ๐Ÿ’‰ comments under and talk about doping.

      All the people talk about doping, but what does it really matter? If we believe the conspiracy that everyone dopes, well then everybody has the same benefit. But personally I think that people often underestimate the amount of optimization that goes into professional training. When everybody has all 24 hours of their day available just to improve their fitness, the befenits can be really big. I'm not saying one way or the other about the use of doping, but why should we even care. These guys are also the top 0.1% of the gene pool, which is a way bigger benefit than any drugs can give to an average guy.

      Pretty sure he just has the start and end points hidden for privacy – itโ€™s one of the default settings you can enable for all your rides.

    15. Automotive on

      Cycling is sadly a sport that has quantified the performance pretty objectively, that means that year on year we can see exactly where the effects of all the "improvements" are happening. It nigh makes it impossible to get excited about a result any more.

      I've come across two types of men use those headband those who have hair long enough for it's purpose and then there's those who think it's a fashion item and look like a right wโš“

      Yeahhhhhh itโ€™s starting to smell like dope. Tadej set the record on Planche de Belle Filles and everyone creams over the power output as if there shouldnโ€™t be skepticism.
