  Bet you he doesn’t care how ugly helmets are.

  I think his point is that Jonas should be more of a peloton voice/leader
• Meeper19-03-2025
  What's the point? Jonas doesn't have the charisma of Pogi? These are athletes not politicians. Attacking an athlete for lack of charisma is childish, although it is totally valid to say he should have opposed the continuation of the race at the time.

  It's hard to believe this guy ran a successful team with his penchant for airing private discussions in public, and not just adding to existing conflicts, but creating entirely new ones. I am curious if that ever served to improve individual performance, or team cohesion.

  @Mistermaumau for example, during the 6th stage of the Tour last year, Turgis finished 18th, average speed over 46km/h, weighted average power was 235w, average power 179w. Just check strava, power is ridiculously low for most on flat stages

  Today Horner (I know) released a video in which he says that during MSR you do 150, 200w for the 1st part, that's easily below Z3 for every single pro. In the wheels, middle of peloton you're definitely Z2 or lower, it's all about conserving energy. Drafting matters, A LOT. Add aero bikes, aero clothes, aero helmets, aero everything

  Sad. Have you ever tried a humidifier?

  Tend to agree but sadly, many people forget that as soon as it concerns someone they don’t appreciate.

  Hey, with American marketing know-how there are no excuses, if they can manage to sell us every kind of crap, this should be a piece of pie ;-) Like the article points out, countries with far fewer riders or cycling history have theirs. Hope it’s a success, maybe worth harmonising with the Canadian dates.

  Ok but that 150 could have been Z1 and though he hasn’t ever won, he is not really representative. I still can’t image that no matter if 39 or 45 average it all stays in Z2, do you have any sources for that? It would make a mockery out of doping allegations due to raised average speeds as the 2x10min uphill sprints after (let’s call it a round 7h) are not what determines them.
