Your analysis didn't account for descent models. A climber descends nearly as fast as a sprinter. Within a couple percent, even if they weigh 20kg more. But the climber ascends easily ten percent faster. You can't normalize a stage at 2.5 percent grade. It's a bad model. But I hope you Got some sponsor money from making a video that's not very useful. 😅😅😅😅😅 In other words, descent times are about the same for sprinter groups as climber groups, but the uphill part, it's not even close. So the race model should look at mostly uphill, and ignore downhill, if you want to normalize the grade. And you forget another issue - sprinters are trying to save as much energy as possible, so they don't lose too much body mass that they need to win other races, later in the year. So they go as slow as possible. And if they account in their mind, for excess body mass loss, they may ride slow and get cut. And tell the sponsor they ate some spoiled food for breakfast. The grand tour rider can't win the other races, generally speaking. They have to give it everything in a grand tour, despite losses to body mass that harm their health. Also, electric motors affect outcomes 😅😅😅😅

Lactate threshold is FTP.

I’ve heard professional cyclists referred to as “genetic freaks.”

@@connieback7577 Not only in Cycling but in All sports.

@@connieback7577 they starve themselves for years to adapt to a machine ..... And most use electric motors in most races....

And yo outside running around chasing KOM in your local area, what have you achieved in cycling? I guess so,....nothing! Has guts to be talking shit about Kittel being dropped.

@@kay19833 what are you crying about

Daniel M You need to gain the right kind of weight, that means muscle and possibly bone density. Off season Olympic style weightlifting and associated exercises. Squats are king!

Yeah weight training will do the job, I'm the same as you, 183cm/61kg. But would it actually improve your power? Idk probably not much

Eat more. That's it. Take whatever you are yesterday and eat it again today plus an extra sandwich. Do that for a week. If you don't gain weight, add two sandwiches to the same diet every day. Do another week. Etc.

Are you eating the correct food? If you want a more accurate amount of nutritional intake use a calorie caculator.

Just saying most people think qaunity of food is key, yes quanity matters but quality does too.

What clean riders?

I'm still waiting on "clean riders of today". dumb.

Clean! Lol!

Life’s unfair men, that’s part of the sport to loose as much weight as possible and still push some watts just as classical dancing requires being thin or sumo being fat

Try both. Sprint in flat then do climb on the mountain. See which one your comfortable

Now you know they are on something right?

@@kay19833 Nah I dont know and tbh I dont care.

@@raphaeltiziani7476 You don't care about exactly what?

@@kay19833 if they dope or not. I would care to much I couldnt watch any sport.

@@raphaeltiziani7476 So, all athletes dope is that what you're saying?

We are going to discuss an app thats does all this and possibly more in a few weeks...it will analyse your CDA on the fly from you normal head unit ride data with no special equipment
