Those numbers are just insanity, especially when I’ve barely just got my FTP over 250w. And he’s averaging 277w for an entire stage. And that’s not even getting into normalized power.
I have always believed - even as an amateur racer - that few sports exist with as big a divide between the elites and the rest of us as cycling. To the point where the average person (non-cyclist maybe) literally cannot concieve of someone pumping out those kind of numbers, day in and day out, for 22-23 days.
