Annual stats for pro rider??????
Anyone know a link on the web or has inside knowledge of what a pro riders annual stats are? ie Number rides in the year, mileage, average speed, max speed etc. I'm aiming this year to try & keep a record of all my stats both MTb, road then combined.

Are you trying to emulate a pro's training regime?0

Nope I'm just intrigued really! Just to see quite how much riding they do in a year.0

i think Garmin may show some stats, but i doubt you can see all of them as it may give secrets away?0

Ivan Basso said he's going to be riding 40,000k this year.

I would think they ride 7 days a week at varying distances and intensities. And they might have a week or two completely off a year.
Now if they are riding 2 or 3 Grand Tours a year, they are going to rack up some serious mileage compared to the guys who only do the one day races.
40,000KM a year equates to an average of over 100KM a day, but Grand Tour stages will be up to 250KM a day, so the per day average drops a bit.
Still a lot of miles. Unless you ride a bike for a living, it's hard to get that sort of mileage in on a daily basis!0 -
CQranking has some numbers on the riders with most kilometres in UCI races last year:

Last year Hondo did 17,000 km in 100 days of racing.0 -
On one of the eurosport commentries last year they said a pro rides about 26000 miles/year.

40 odd thousand kilometres a year.
Woah. That's near enough 3 times round the world.
Is that really correct?
They do 3,500 in 3 weeks in the Tour which they all say is a hell of a lot, so 40,000 seems a little much.0 -
800kms a week for 50 weeks doesn't sound that much for a full time rider, they will probably race about 500km most weeks through the season. Some of it will be recovery rides but I doubt they have many days with no riding at all.0

i used to do 30k+"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

No that's not correct. 40 000K is only once around the world.0 -

40 000km is nothing...

120 000km on a 14kg bike... and one of my favourite cycling stories of all time, there must be a book in this?0 -
Absolutely nic_77, sounds like a right pain in the ass to achieve but highly commendable record to hold.0

Some mates & I got into a long, late night conversation with Rolf Aldag at a hotel we ended up sharing with Columbia when they (& we) were recce'ing the Pyrenees stages of the 2009 Tour. Aldag was using Erik Zabel as an example of the 'old school' of training, which he summarised as 'to hell with specificity; ride 1000km per week & 4 weeks off in the Winter'. So, 48,000km according to Rolf (albeit the 'modern' rider is probably a bit more scientific about it than that).Between me & Eddy Merckx we've won pretty much everything worth winning on a bike.0
