Needed to make sure he wasn't detraining

I can't remember a GC rider doing something like that in a major stage race since Floyd in 2006.

Tadej's got 9 wins in 12 race days so far this year.

Froome 2018 Giro Fienstre stage. Took something like 3 mins back on Dumolin. It was also the opening salvo of the high carb revolution

I'm enjoying the debate around whether or not he was above 7.

We've got a good narrative going into the Tour: Is Tadej's form off and the competition was shite in Switzerland or is he on track to demolish Jonas.

Seems like part of it is skepticism that he can go from bulked up classics guy back to GC dominator.

The latter. Competition is irrelevant when the numbers are the numbers. The debate I’ve seen is the time it took for him to get up to Lenny. Lenny has been cooking all year. He must have done 6.7+
