Yates is definitely one of the best GC guys at the moment. I honestly think he could beat Roglic but Poggy is just ridiculously good. Poggy is first rider since the old days where he can literally do everything. Gone are the days when GC guys were climbers and OK TT riders. Now you got poggy clapping sprinters on flat and being better than Mvdp on cobbles and is one of the best TT ers and the best climber.
Great stuff. I was standing at the side of the road for 4 of those performances. Surreal to see the speed and the effort required to dominate the race. 👍🏴☠️❤️
Nice video and 100% with your picks. Best part was your video is a super reminder of how good the 2022 “pre-season” was. Cycling fans are lucky to be able to see this. Greate summary.
Cool video as always, thanks. Have you ever thought about doing some sort of explainer video on things like normalized power versus average power and why that sort of thing matters? I think there are a lot of people out there, myself included, who have only a vague understanding of why these kinds of metrics matter, and would love to hear your distinctive take on them.
Naichaca includes all that in his calculations, it's partly cause he was fresh at the start. And sometimes they can compare what they calculate to other riders strava data to get a idea if it's accurate.

Cookie man deserves to be on this list. He retired and all of a sudden can push these wkg just riding solo with no UCI points on the table. 7.54wkg for 5 mins and talking to the camera just 10 seconds later whilst cracking jokes. Then a few minutes later smashing out more 400w+ climbs.
He is specificly training for this and not trying to ride 4h + efforts. I bet if any of the current pros would try the KOMs fresh they would smoke phil. Not to take away anything from his efforts but dont make it sound like he is doing some unreal stuff
I love your videos, however for some reason I found it a little difficult to understand you this video. There are moments where you aren't articulating really clear or like your teeth are always clenched, and I think you shouldn't try to do so much with the foreign names as you are doing now, its okay to say it a little anglophonized.
Importantly where are these numbers coming from? it seems like they could be far out from the real values quite easily. how are you getting the weight of the riders from when they start these efforts and or the power data to back it up. if the power is predicted and the weight is just google stats then this whole list is a shambles
