Could you drop Pogačar on Montmartre’s punchy climb i

And, just out of curiosity, what sort of Maximal Aerobic Power (MAP) would that take?

Harvest season is about to start early—though this time we’re not talking about Montmartre’s wine. We’re “taxing” Pogačar by handing him a 1990‑style Parisian icon: the 23 kg Vélib’. Meanwhile, you’ll need at least the bare‑minimum MAP we’re about to crunch with our very own Geppetto. You’ve got 48 hours to train and place that last‑minute order for the Colnago (lucky you, it’s actually in stock!).

Or maybe you’d rather watch the Tour de France finale, then hustle back in time to help with the grape harvest?

Just so we’re clear: Pogačar will be grinding up Rue Lepic’s 7 % grade on a clunky rental bike that feels like it’s rolling on coarse sandpaper. Sounds fair, right?

I do have a brilliant plan for the less‑motivated among you: click “buy now” (delivery in two days!) on the champ’s bike—an 18‑grand ticket without the Slovene legs. Then graciously hand over your flea‑market Vélib’ (we’re talking Porte de Saint‑Ouen vibes, not my dog’s fleas).

So, can you hit 386 watts of MAP at 66 kg in just two days? Sure—if you follow BillaTraining’s nuclear program [https://www.billatraining.com/en/accueil-2/](https://www.billatraining.com/en/accueil-2/) and already push 385 watts today.

In other words, this is straight‑up fiction. As my students love to say: “Not even in your dreams!”
