Antoine Vayer and Frédéric Portoleau are measuring performances with "radars" on the major climbs of each competition. The cyclists are supposed to ride almost 100% of their capacity.
A performance average can be calculate (only for last climb of stage, and with an effort > 20 minutes).
You'll find an example of a radar-zone in the section watt the fuck ?.

Details on performance thresholds
The threshold depends on several information : the stage and last climb duration (no threshold if effort < 20 min), its difficulty, etc.
Here is the method used on this website:
Mountain stages > 4 hours:
> 450 W (78kg-standard) : MUTANT
> 430 W : MIRACULOUS
> 410 W : SUSPICIOUS
< 410 W : HUMAN
Single-col stages > 4 hours or time-trials:
> 465 W (78kg-standard) : MUTANT
> 445 W : MIRACULOUS
> 425 W : SUSPICIOUS
< 425 W : HUMAN
