Tom, you guys are saying its easy to remove heat for the protour guys. OK that is theoretically fine. I gave you the rough math on how much heat they generate and most of them probably don't even know the amount they are generating, because usually they don't do all this trainer time like age groupers and when they do, their heat generation is way harder.
Protour guys may or may not have done that in the lockdown and thereby diminished their training even for the volume they did (remember Geriant Thomas's trainer charity rides that we were super long....and he sucked at Dauphine):

This is when he did 36 hrs of trainer riding in 3 days.
Anyway, its not a perfect world to go acquire simple things during lockdown and get it installed depending on where they are, and modify their set ups at home. They are not age groupers in North American with lots of space and personal studios.
Just because Jordan has a set up (and OK he tells us he is almost protour level, fair enough), does not mean the other guys who were non performing early after the lockdown did.
