The management company behind the Movistar team is the same company that ran the Banesto team in 1992 (and dates back to the Reynolds team of the 1980s with Delgado). They are the ones responsible for starting the movement of modifying traditional national champ jerseys when they modified it for Indurain's 1992 win in the spanish championships.
These jersey designs are owned by the national federation and they should dictate to the national champions that the traditional designs be respected as the italian federation did with Pippo in 2009 when he tried a few different interpretations of the italian jersey before finally settling on a version that the italian federation would accept.

I'd be over the moon if I could ride that fast. I don't want to diminish it, but it was only 3 and a half hours, and these numbers are not really unheard of in continental level, are they?
(A friend of mine of similar weight did almost 5 hours at 307W NP in training a week or so ago.)

you need look at the laps , looks like a bunch of garbage time there. Also strava weighted power is always lower than NP

I'd say riding at 370w (5.25w/kg) average for 22min after riding for ~2.5hrs at 315w (4.5 w/kg) average a tough day out. Let's say he's about 70kg. I would guess his Variability Index is quite large. IM guys do what? 3.5w/kg with a VI of 1.01

Cosmo's argument seems to be that the wheel is spinning before the cranks are turning. Well first, as far as I can see the wheel starts spinning exactly at the same time as his legs start turning and second (again), a motor in the frame would not spin the wheel without spinning the cranks.
For the record that site is not Cosmo's. It's Peter, he's based in Sydney.
