Of course the technologie never stops , but if we look how much watt they can push in test centers ?
This has nothing to do with technologie , this power comes straight from the legs ...
And if you look closely at the legs above... that was not technologie , that was medical preparation called doping !
I rode years in the Belgian competition , I was not good enough to win but I drove with guys who later wore the yellow and green jersey in the Tour the France !
I saw enough things and know things ...
And I can tell you that no one was ever clean in the TDF .
The TDF ....We are talking about 21 days my friend !
