Who's on fire?

Leblanc's on fire...

What db is that?

It's the Bernth '96 DB

Riis could drive up a 100 % no problem, I have said it before EPO works

On a 100% percent you'd be going backwards!

No, at 100% you'd be falling upside down, as 90% is straight up

Wrong. Percentages in cycling represent how many units you go up/down for every 100 units traveled. So 100% would be 45°.

Good point, I was going by angle gradient, not road gradient measures

Is that Usain Bolt in your team? I bet he'd be a good time trialist!

Why doesn't he fall backwards?!

I think the question is not how can a man be in a 62% slope, but... does this slope exist??

You sure 100% isn't 90°? If you travel 100m at 100% that's 100m straight up as you ascend 100m per 100m travelled at 100% gradient.

And Usain Bolt, a good time trialist? I'd say he would be a good sprinter.

his BJ skill is 81

62% I geus it is a stage in the Tour of qatar?

No, the % is how many meters you go up in 100 meters horizontal. It's a triangle. So straight up is outside percentage.

No, straight up is 200 %

Nope, straight up is 100%.It works like this : the height you gain is divided by the meters a rider travels and multiplied by 100. It looks like a rectangular triangle: the length you travel is the hypotenuse and the height is the vertical leg.

come on you cant even walk up that XD

how almost everyone fails here EBH is right of course...

If you don't trust us...
