Top 50 times for the whole climb. Its 1617 m of climbing over 21,8 km.

EDIT: The 1999 and 2004 times are TTs hence the generally higher figures.




How silly you look now issoisso, he he;)


Have you tried reading for a change? As I explained before he posted, he's not taking times for the climb. He's taking times for the climb + false flat.

If you're considering that false flat as a climb, then Cancellara has the fastest time ever on it. And if that counts as a climb, then the longest climb in the world is the Passo Majola at 94.3kms long, which was the final climb of a stage in the 2009 Giro won by that super-climber Edvald Boasson Hagen.

Of course it's not really the world's longest climb because no one in their right mind would consider those gradients a mountain.

The real Ventoux starts at a place called St.Esteve and is 15.65kms long. Would you like me to also post the best ever times for it?

EDIT: Oh, and for the record, if you disregard the part at the start where everyone went slow (which made Nieve and Quintana attack to ride the climb at a steady pace), and only take the last 6.5kms that are exposed after the domestiques did their work, Froome beat 2000 Pantani/Armstrong by half a minute

I play around with bikeroute a lot and these are mountain stages that should be exciting and could logically be possible:


Marie B, Aubisque, Full Tourmalet with finish in La Mongie after 4 km of descent.

finish in Loudenvielle after Peyresourde - Bales combo

Mtf on Col de Granon (would need Briancon or Serre Chevalier again to come up with the money)

Plus Finestre in the Tour would be great.
And we haven't had the Cormet de Roseland for a very long time

Edit: and a hilly Basque stage please


Would love to see the Finestre in the Tour - a Cenis-Finestre-Sestriere stage would be pretty cool (and if you're of a sadistic nature add the Iseran on at the beginning)

Also a hilly Basque stage would be great, doubt it would happen though Sad

It really is a shame. Not much to do about it, though. There's no way the Tour caravan could travel around on roads like this:

Sorry, but your still wrong. The climb is the climb, its that simple. The whole point of comparing the big mountains is that they are a constant route that is of good length. The longer you can record and compare, the better. Hense it is far better to compare times for both then merely part of it.

Froomes time is only 15 seconds off the 2009 which is not a whole lot worse. Its I don't there are many times above it you would consider clean. Its suspect enough. Quote the figures too to show how strong he was towards the end, but don't quote incorrect figures for the climb when they aren't for the whole climb because its misleading and only makes you less credible.

If you want to put it like that, why don't compare the whole stages. In 2009 the stage was 167 km long while this year it was 242.5, both have been ridden at approximately 35 km/h.

Because they were not the same. The profile for the final 21.6 always is and hense is a good reference point to compare. Its also a place where the riders will generally putting out near maximum effort so you can gauge roughly their maximum output over a sustain period.

You can only do that with identical terrain because god knows there enough other uncontrollable outside factors its about the only thing that is the same XD

Well A.Schleck says he was 12 secs slower, and if he is wrong well we seen how 09 was ridden(trackstands). And you do make me laugh, it is so wrong to have no results before 26, I mean we cant all be Quintana and Contador. And all you can say(not you but in general, this all people say) is Armstrong said he never failed, that's what makes me lol when people say well Armstrong never failed a test so why believe CF? Well its 2013 for a start, have Sky had 1 failed test? If their doping why don't Leinders dob them in after getting sacked? How many big names have failed(F.Schleck, A.C) so no chance of a cover up by UCI. So yes I believe he is clean 1 of us will be proved right, I understand why you don't believe but you must TRY and forget past and just as he said let it "STAND TEST OF TIME".Wink

His point is that if you're going to arbitrarily add non-climbing terrain to the climb, why not add more?

I mean since we're adding pointless noise to our data, let's go all the way and make the data completely useless.

Personally I say the Anglirú is now 250kms long and averages 0.2%. Deal with it.

The more flat you use, the more the riders in the wheels get slipstreamed, and the less you can evaluate riders' strength. Pretty convenient to consider a longer segment to prove there's been nothing miraculous.

Heck, maybe Pantani was clean each time he set one of the three best times on Alpe d'Huez, I'm sure nobody has checked the valley times and their 0,0005 % of gradient prior to what most people with obviously no clue consider the start of the climb.

In a way I'm glad Contador bumped out of the podium. It was so nice to see an entire podium made out of extremely happy people. Conta would've brought the atmosphere down up there Smile
