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".
