The Calorie Burn Comparison Jorgensen vs Evenepoel vs Pogacar

Johan digs up some details comparing how many calories were burned by certain riders on stage 5 of the Tour de France, showcasing how efficient Tadej Pogacar is.

If Bruyneel thinks that Pogacar seriously only burned 1500 kcal's I dunno what to tell you...

[aocdk]

No way that Pogacar number is correct, come on!

[Eirikkinserdal]

They don't sync their power to strava. So take these number with a grain of salt. If you had access to their trainingpeaks maybe.. 😅

[CheKake]

Meanwhile I consumed 6000 calories watching them 😂

[oliviercharles]

This is how competitive Pogacar’s engine is!

[davesingh]

This cant be true. The motor bike riders, the sporting directors in their cars and us watching the live surely burned more than 1600 calories in that time.

[cyclepowered]

I used 2 garmins on one long ride. One said I burned 2300 calories. The other said 1600 calories.

[ProfessorCarlo]

That's not efficiency, that's Lance on Alpe d'Huez. If you are not burning calories, you are not pushing watts. He got help below the seat post.

[carl-axelhallgren]

On the galibier stage pogi has 2949 and remco 4356 calories. Unlikely that big difference on a mountain stage, also Tadej probably is heavier. Would guess tadej uploads inaccurate data.

[AlexandreSantos-zenx]

1630 : 4 h = 407kcal/hr .. 406 : 3600 sec * 1000 = 113 ave watts. Yeah sure ..

Power data and calories burned are quite a big secret for pro.

You can clearly see that pogacar had hardly beem paddeling.
Has done less elevation and distance and the temp was 4 degrees lower.

[johnjohnson]

Based on body weight. Greg Lemond did a recent interview on a U tube channel. He said something like Todi and Jonas were both 10 + lighter than when he rode. Very very light. But those numbers are really low. Would have to do calculations and have all data.

[bestg]

Maybeeee this is evidence of not how efficient he is, but how something else is making it possible

[storegga]

There's a fat guy on our rides that burns 5k Strava cals to my 800 calories average ride TSS. The Strava calories are useless as the fat guy is getting heavier each ride.

[abcxyz]

He chandged the Bike and the Powermeter didn't connect so the File says he burnd 0 calories after that

[JesusGutierrez-whtd]

Check the temperature and maybe is not accurate the info that you provide.

[AndrewDHDavidson]

Guy comes off as a dinosaur if he genuinely thinks Strava data is accurate

[singh]

JB, the ultimate cheater in cycling, is talking about efficiency of Pogatcha? I say Pogatca is doping so hard, that his HR doesn't even go up

[Barbosht]

It is bullshit no one can cycling for 4h long in that intense pace and did burn only 1.600 kcal!

[stevenfoleyuk]

Having a motor would burn less calories .
