Does anyone have any ideas about what new substance has hit the peloton this year? Pogachar dropping the whole peloton in the mountains casually riding a big ring??? Two.days.in.a.row? Really? 36 year old Cavendish who could not do much last few years suddenly "rediscovering" his form and winning TDF stages left and right from guys 10 years younger than him? Well-known breakaway specialists finding that they push their career-high wattage and suddenly cannot get away from anyone? Experienced GC riders finishing mountain stages in the grupetto??? This is just way too many miracles to my taste. This is reminiscent of the start of the EPO era when LeMond won the Tour one year and next suddenly could not keep up with the peloton...
