I was thinking about this, and his records, and there's no question of the difficulty of going up L'Alpe d'Huez after riding that much. But, and I don't know the facts, did he have people helping lead him up the first few turns? Because there's still some advantage in that. There's no drafting at all in a TT. Pantani probably had some help (not to mention the EPO). Either way, it's apples to oranges.
