Are Pros Getting Too Powerful?

The fastest pro cyclists are putting out historic levels of power, exceeding the infamous doping decade.

When Vingegaard attacked on the recent San Giacomo climb, his estimated power was 7.04 W/kg for 11:38 minutes.

Last year, Vingegaard managed 7.46 W/kg for 11:17 minutes on the Izua climb. The only performance to match or exceed that was Pantani in 1995, 7.62 W/kg, for 8:59 minutes.

Why? Is it the better diet? It must be the "diet".
