[quote="marco"]You've got to hand it those guys; Riis, Pantani, Armstrong, Ullrich and Leblanc were the most natural and gifted climbers ever!
strange though that the one man who had an incredibly high VO2MAX , Lemond, doesn't feature on there. Maybe these guys hearts were just 30% bigger or something.
So if we rule out Riis, Pantani, Armstrong, Ullrich and Leblanc, the numbers still show that Schleck, Nibali, Schleck, Wiggins and Sastre all set the next highest recorded VAMs apart from Contador. All presumably much better climbers than that other natural and gifted climber and multiple KOM winner Virenque who doesn't even appear on the chart.
