I still cant get over how fast they were doing the 20mile TT ~36mins! :hyper: I do 10 miles in about 29mins and I'm puffed!!! Unbelievable!

How on earth did Pantani do it in 36minutes, took me exactly twice ....
And he had already done 100+ miles in temperatures over 30deg, presumably?

Top professional riders, like many top sports people, are physiologically quite different. Not just 'a bit better', 'I could do it if I trained really hard'. If you weren't born with the same sort of body, you could pedal up it every day of your life and you wouldn't get near 36m.
