    Crikey indeed!
    A lesson in consistancy. See how his heart rate, power and cadence are consistant throughout the ride. He gets in the zone quickly and holds it, no ramping at the end. Impressive.

    I just re-set his power zones to 12 W below Nap D.

    His peak power (~1100 W coming out of the turns) was 300W less than Chinny was supposed to have produced on Sunday.

    He didn't have to leather it up any hills and drop Boonen though :lol:

    A fine advert for the new Garmin 500.

    474 Watts for 18minutes - 6.3 W/kg. How far will that get him up the Tourmalet in July?

    Not wrong.

    It's goodbye to my trusty Polar S725.

    That website just clinched it for me (plus the Garmin software runs on Macs)

    I'm working from home today awaiting the delivery of my Edge 500 at this very moment. :)

    Need to find the extra cash to spring for a PowerTap though. :(

    For some reason the phrase "cart before horse" is springing to mind... :D

    This was also discussed on timetriallingforum.co.uk - these power figures might be a bit high because he's using oval chainrings with SRMs. And he may have had smart recording turned on on the Garmin, which will further overestimate things.

    For reference, he averaged 396W (PowerTap) over 36min in a Tour TT a few years ago to finish 3rd.

    His De Panne TT was still enough to win, which is what counts :D

    WOW!! These are his best figures since he was last riding on a high!!
    I don't mean to say "high on drugs"; I mean the other high; no, really I do. :wink:

    Maximum figures don't tell you much - although 1450W without an actual sprint is pretty major

    Schoolboy error for a pro surely?

    He also averaged 285W for 6+ hrs(!) Which means his normalised power would have been well into the 300s. And probably close to 500 (6+W/kg ish) for the last 20mins.

    Yes - not saying he did it btw. But turning smart recording off (and zero averaging on I think) to get correct power figures is not that obvious unless you read certain forums. Ditto not using SRMs with oval chainrings.
