Today's Eurosport Explainer explains how teams are able to effectively control mountain stages.

Where is the secret? This is every team's goal, the other teams just don't have the wattage to execute it.

Sky is tactically really impressive, and thanks to that they are a dominant force in the peloton. It’s as simple as that

[MatthiasG]

Step 1: Let a pure Ruleour lead the peloton over 2 HC mountains

[Sandro]

Nothing new.Copy strategy USPS Armstrong

[lawrenceowen]

NeomG, you are absolutely right but there are nuggets out there that cannot grasp that fact, I've been cycling for a lot of years and racing and know what it takes.

[jemthompson]

Anyone else now have this music playing in their head every time you hit a big climb?

[diegospina]

The secret behind boring mountain stages I would say 😢

[vivoslibertos]

What's the 'secret' of team USPS dominance?

[RahilMUFC]

What's that music? Link please :)

[Engineer]

This could have been explained better…

I thought this would be a Salbutamol add- OK if it is so this video would be 24hours longas their reportof 15, 000 pages. JOB WELL DONE EUROSPORT

The misuse of the therapeutic use exemption (TUE) system.

The secret is having Leinders as team doctor. Even at Rabobank he worked the doping individually with team looking away. Would not be surprised. Micro transfusions and micro epo injections are hardly detectable, Froome is known to have used Salbutamol which according to Willy Voet(a soigneur of the Festina team) is a game changer drug even in the 90s. Anyway cycling is fucked and will stay fucked, even if 90 percent might want a clean sport it only takes one USPS or whatever team to screw it up and have other great riders decide they should dope too because they cant win anymore.

Why oh why, must we be subjected to moron music in these clips ? Surely they could come up with something better .

[danielgomez-oedk]

Sky would be rekt by Lance Postal Team.

[lukass]

I would also say it's mostly the dope that does the trick

[woutverriest]

Anti-Cycling, miss the tours of 2008-2011
