Yeah I believe they’re sauced to the gills. I’m just interested in how they are getting away with it. A well known Dr. stated that a natural cyclist can push themselves to 6.2-6.4 w/kg and Pogacar in his TT was pushing close to 7 🧐 also if you saw how gassed Roglic was at the end of his trial compared to Pogi it was a head scratcher for sure.

I also think they should add back a longer ITT.
Problem is TV ad revenue. The people on the side of the road don't pay for these, TV/online coverage does. Throw a 6 or 7 hour stage at them and people will yawn and turn it off.

Careful, there are many here who get angry when someone dares to point out that the steak they are being served is actually cat poop. Just eat the cat poop and enjoy it.
