It would be interresting to find a study about the hematocrit of riders to see if there is a correlation with top performance.
Of course, only the natural value:
Armstrong around 40-41
Contador
Schleck
Sastre
Valverde
Vino
Ullrich
Mayo
...
Riis
Indurain
Does that make sense to measure today hematocrit of old riders like
Fignon
Lemond
Fignon
Roche
Hinault
Merckx ?
