Lance Armstong, himself, except for some ITT, hardly ever developed abnormal wattages before July.
Not that I don't think Armstrong doped (because I believe they're all doping)... but this isn't hugely relevant in Lance's case.
He didn't really enter a ton of races until July when he was winning the Tour, and never made even a small attempt to get into peak form prior to the tour.
He'd generally do a couple of early races, then he'd start gearing up for the tour with the Dauphine Libre or Tour de Suisse... then peak at the tour. He had more of a single minded focus on one race than virtually any other rider. Not matching his tour outputs at any other time isn't really odd. What those outputs are may indicate doping, but not so much their timing I think. |
