Which was harder 2009 TDF or 2010? Actual numbers!

This is very cool. Usually, everyone estimates power numbers, etc in gauging this stuff. But for Chris Anker-Sorenson, we have actual numbers!

Thanks for the link

Good piece that. Sorensen and his all-out grimace has become a familiar feature of the Tour.

Woah, that is good stuff.

Interesting but surely no guide as to which was the harder race, more a case of him having to ride harder this year in support of Schleck?

Depends how you look at it. 2010 was obviously a harder race for him, if you break it down into inviduals and their own race experience?

Excuse my ignorance, but what is TSS?

Training Stress Score is a measure of how hard a particular workout was - 100 TSS points is equivalent to an all-out effort for one hour.

But that's power meter stuff, so I guess it does your head in...

You betcha!
