5. Power calculation from Tour stages : Frédéric Portoleau has a page
put up where he has power estimates of various top riders from this
year's Tour. According to him, Andy Schleck climbed the ascent to
Avoriaz in 33min 12s, expending some 417W of power. That gives a power/
weight ratio of 6.1 W/kg. Alberto put down 415W of power, making his
power to weight ratio some 6.8 W/kg. Certainly seems way off the
charts, so I'm not sure how reliable all this data is.

In about 1990 or so, the requisite power for a neo-pro in the Tour was
around 390W so those numbers represent an increase of around 12% over
20 years.
Not incroyable.

So Schleck climbed faster than Contador but with a much lower power to
weight ratio? That ain't right.

weight figures). Portoleau assumed everyone was the same weight
(70kg).

Presumably also, if your aunt had balls, she would be your uncle.

Obviously just another gym professor.

One ball or two ?

That number roughly agrees with Andy Coggan's power tables.
5 s 1 min 5 min 20
min
World Champion/World Record Holder 23.50 11.50 7.60 6.62
If the format gets rearranged ...........
the max value is 6.62 w/kg for a 20 minute effort.

Panache.

Well that's a pretty convenient way to avoid analyzing someones
garbage analysis for the next 43 hours.
