What are these legendary hills he is climbing? I am ancient, unfit and 9kg over my racing weight and can still puke my way up the 25% climb a mile away on 39×25. On the basis that he is certainly younger than me and is riding a much lighter bike, what the fuck is his problem? About 10 years ago I rode the Croix de Fer, Telegraphe and Galibier in a day on 39x25, sure, it hurt.
