- > All in all, these estimates look so confusing. Maybe they aren’t that confusing. Once you account for bike weight and aerodynamics, it’s still possible that Pantani had to put in more effort than Pogačar, even though he climbed slower.averagecyclist06-08-2026
- Before 2024, it was estimated Pogacar's VO2max was in the range of 90, based on his performances. I've read Vingegaard's VO2max was oficially calculated at 97, when his was 17. It seems indeed this metric is not solely responsable for a cyclist performance. According to Na1chaca on X, Pantani's 1997 performance on Alpe d'Huez has an aSLP of 710, while Pogacar's same climb this Tour has 693. Also, Velora Cycling claimed on X their equipment-adjusted model put Pantani's 1995 performance on Alpe d'Huez 14 seconds ahead of Pogacar. All in all, these estimates look so confusing.
raven06-08-2026 - He has to be around the 100 mark. He is not tired after a effort that beat Pantani's 60% record. Also he is repeating those effort day after day by attacking at 9 w/kg+abstractengineer06-08-2026
- The yellow jersey waited for Demi to make her move then followed her wheel. Meantime Demi was watching both Kasia (who she knew would go early) and the yellow jersey (to see if she would blink first), and only just made it to the line.Hills3306-08-2026
- Agreed withy Crashjames. The writer of the article, the Deputy Editor in chief of CyclingUtDate we are told "emphasises careful sourcing' (L Armstrong, really?) and "updates as new informtion is received" ( re Iliac surgery as reported in EscapeCollective - we'll see if an update is forthcoming eh?). You probably won't be concerned but your publication has lost a reader over this.Clomo06-08-2026
- All you have to do is make one more idiotic 'I love Pogi' comment and you will be the Pogi-Fan-GOAT ! I sure hope he doesn't have to take out a restraining order on you!frieders306-08-2026
- If you understood her post race comments this was her only option ! She studied and recon'd the final and knew she had to go from far out as she ZERO chance going head to head in a short sprint she never wins!frieders306-08-2026
- Bruyneel and LA Doper both failed to mention PFP has had iliac artery surgery twice so this TT position was a compromise developed in the wind tunnel that didn't stress her. These two clowns should do their homeowrk before bashing someone !frieders306-08-2026
- Why then did you open this article?Ride197406-08-2026
- I reckon Demi will have a crack at Reusser with Kasia right with her. My dark horse Isabella Holgrem.
