Just watched A Sunday In Hell again. Probably had not viewed that for a decade. Wife hadn't seen it before, wouldn't have been interested before. First thing she said was "They ride so beautifully". They did. I will assume the majority here cannot even see the difference in how current pros and current lesser mortals ride. The way they ride now is ugly. Trained for wattage is ugly. If all you want is to see high numbers on the meter it's slam high gears and forget about form. What's form? And then crash a lot. The blood on the screen works real well with the ugly pedaling.
Lance Armstrong and dope and wattage meters destroyed the sport. It's gone. Of course this is one of the forums where the liar, cheater, bully Lance is still revered.
