How did tour to France riders climb up mountains so fast? The best pros can average 25 km per hour or 15 mph up some of the most brutal climbs in the world. Is it just that they are fitter or is there more to it? Before we get on to the reasons why they’re so fast, one of which I think is really going to surprise you, we wanted to show you exactly how fast they are. We are midway up the Kodal Lamadon in southern France. This is me riding at the power I can sustain for the entire 13 km climb which is about 280 W. And then this is me riding at the speed that threetime tour to France champion Ted Pagata was riding here when he set the record on this climb. It’s quite a big difference.

  1. Whatever the pros do, legal and illegal, if I would do exactly the same, I still couldn't compete. I still enjoy watching the tour even though I will never see a truly clean one. "Cheating" is just part of every competition in existence. Some are more prone than others but in the end if money is involved people will cheat.
