On the 12-13 and 14% climbs they looked pretty human. Riding around 10 mph which is 6 mph faster than me on a climb olike that.

But I was flaberghasted with the climbing speed of the pro's on a 6% grade. They were doing probably 15 mph. Maybe even 20 on some false flats.

Does anyone have any idea of how they can keep speeds like that up for 100 miles?

Being very fit! And in a large peloton helps, Tour of Britain occasionally
comes into the Welsh hills and the speed they come up is remarkable.
