> 4) wrong inputs to the model.

And a wrong model. There're a lot of calculators out there, e.g. [1]. Some more, some less sophisticated. But they all provide rules by thumb at best.

It starts at the mechanical losses, rolling resitance and aerodynamics (it's often neglected on calculations regarding climbs). Does his model take wind into account?

Thank you, this is a very sound approach for estimating the power to velocity relationship. Actually, it's the by far most sound approach around. One general remark though: It is important to only include measured power data which is indicated by a little flash on Strava. Strava always shows power data, but otherwise estimates. Most riders use similiar devices (SRM, Quarq, P2Max), so the numbers are comparable within about 5 %.

I really hate, how convicted dopers like Armstrong and Jalabert defame Froome. After all Froome is not convicted. If people like him or not.

With all the speculations, we are not to forget that training methodology has evolved immensly over the last couple of years. And Chris Froome is actually more at 65 kg then at 67 kg.

Lastly, unfortunately mankind cheats. It's in our nature. Businesses are bribing, countries are spying, Fifa, well ... (be sure similiar however probably on a much smaller scale things happen at the IOC), students take beta blocker and ritalin. CEOs tell so many lies and intimidate so many people on their way to the top. Cheating is everywhere, we all did it in smaller or larger ways.

What? The other way out would simply be to accept the reformations demanded by the EU. Greece would also need a new government as soon as possible. A government that does everything possible to help Greece to regain economic strength. Build new industrie, start-ups, let the tourism in this beautiful country flourish again. The EU has already agreed to give Greece a huge amount of additional money. But they obviously want to make sure that the money is not wasted and stolen by corruption as the hundreds of billions since 2010 [1]. History has proven that socialism doesn't work. You guys need another government, but only have a couple of pigs [2].

Actually Mozilla analyzes and stores the user's surfing data to allow it's customers to direct ads to the user's preferences. I actually don't understand why so few seem to bother. I think it's a quite big deal. Same with these telefonica chat thing.

I'm currently in Europe and following closely the coverage. It's unbelievable how this greek government ruins the whole country. They seem to take the piss out of the EU and Mr. Juncker. Only few can understand Juncker's patience. Tsipras and Varoufakis seem to play communist comedy. But as always with communism, it's ending as tragedy. In the end the greek people will suffer a lot. No medicine, no goods, no toursists. The long term consequences a severe. That's a shame. Europe and the financial markets are much less affected by a so called Grexit than Tsipras assumes.
