16,000 feet elevation at 23 mph. Unbelievable.

I'm thinking that calory estimate might be a bit on the low side.

That’s like climbing Mt Rainier on your bike, starting at sea level. And then adding another 1500 ft for good measure.

And thendoing it 21 times in less than a month

Look at the elevation analysis. The last 7-8 miles was a 5,000ft climb. After you’ve done 110mi.

You’re forgetting he weighs 90lbs and 70 of those are leg muscles.

Oh, and he did it again and won the stage the following day.

And won the individual time trial today ... a completely different discipline

I believe they burn on average 6000 per stage, and 8000 on the mountain stages. That's almost as much as I eat per day over Christmas.

Fuck Strava.

I read that he was clocking 7W/kg on that last climb. AFTER 110 mi in the fucking Alps at 24mph.

Cool stats, just... I hate the platform.
