[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1133469, member: 73144"] Cycling’s a really humbling one - never, ever check a pro’s Strava if you want to feel good about yourself!! Not only can you compare time / speed, but the power comparison is humiliating in the extreme. When Wiggins set his world hour record he averaged something like 440 watts. I can possibly hold that for a minute flat out on a good day. A female track sprinter was talking about a max of 1,480 watts the other day - I’m pleased to hold 1,000 for literally a second! Chris Hoy could hit around 2,500. Cavendish was typically something like 1,200, nowhere near the top, but could hold that for around 30 seconds is light and has a very aero position. And then if you’re talking about climbing you’re in to watts per kilo territory. A top pro might be able to climb at over 6. I, er, can’t…. [/QUOTE]
