Any chance it could be a bike fit issue? Meaning no disrespect, your probably way past the fitting stage, But to my untrained eye the bike looks a bit small and perhaps it’s inhibiting you from delivering your power? It almost looks like you may not get enough extension in your legs.
ok everyone forgive my ignorance if I’m way off.
Probably not the primary issue, given that he has at least 2 power meters that appear to correlate. Looks more like a power/weight issue at face value. Not that the OP is over-weight, but strong 6ft climbers need to either look like living skeletons or have massive power. Lilke a 76 kg pro is likely to churning out close to 500W on a punchy climb, while a lightweight pro could be nearly 100W lower for the same result. That's why the big guys are often in the Gruppetto on mountain stages.
