Bub Marley Posted July 7, 2023 Share Vingegaard averaged 6.9w/kg on stage 5 up the last climb. Yesterday he did 6.8w/kg for the last section of the Tourmalet which is at much higher altitude. Clearly shows that Jonas level was exactly the same, just that Pogi had much better legs yesterday. Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

Time is on his side, he can match/surpass Merckx and Cav. Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Lanterne Rouge or The Move podcast. Can’t remember which one now. DJuice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 7, 2023 Share Anyone notice the comments from Tom Southey at 18Km to go? "Ok, James you have to follow. You have super, super legs. And these are the best in the world and you are in the game with them. Neilson, you are also really in this game, ok." splat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out. It was for significantly less time though, so not sure it's comparable. Looking at the spreads on the graphs in the lanternrouge article I would rather say that both were closer to exceptional but not top 30 all time (like Jonas was on stage 5). On another note, the JV domestiques are just incredible so far. They are destroying the peleton at will at the moment, and UAE have no answer other than relying on Pogacar being magical.

Agreed but Tourmalet is at much higher altitude though compared to Marie Blanq which also plays a significant role. dexterdent and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out. No they did not, those numbers are greatly inflated. 1766 VAM / 8.9% is not 6.8W/kg, it is 6.3W/kg.
