On that note, Quintana's performance on Ventoux was extremely suspect. I know he's got the "nothing" face, but most of the pictures and video of that climb had him pretty much breathing through his nose - at an estimated 6.8 W/kg - for over 28 minutes. Apart from the initial attack (Sepp did 650W for 16 seconds and got dropped like a murder weapon), he looked like he was riding in Z2 the entire way up. And this is all AFTER holding >415W for almost 7 minutes prior to the attack.

I know he's a freak, but that hearkened back to the late 90's early 2000's dirty days. I'm 90% sure there's something fishy going on.

This is not the face of someone that JUST SET THE RECORD GOING UP VENTOUX
