SwissVan Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 its hard In the final race of the Summer League on Saturday at HNP with all the Europcar elite riders we only managed an average speed of 40.5 km/h for 15 km. To do that for 50 km is just crazy You think its hard in a bunch...try on your lonesome next time you go out
'Dale Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 The world will be watching Gonna be intense
SwissVan Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 The world will be watchingGonna be intenseI hope they have a good commentry team and show some good live stats (power / HR / speed etc) otherwise it might not be that interesting to watch
TALUS Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I hope they have a good commentry team and show some good live stats (power / HR / speed etc) otherwise it might not be that interesting to watchAny idea of what wattage he needs?
'Dale Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Any idea of what wattage he needs? Or more specifically watts/kg Gonna be cool I wonder what pre-meal(s) he'll take and drink on the bike
jcza Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Or more specifically watts/kgGonna be cool I wonder what pre-meal(s) he'll take and drink on the bike According to Dr Ferrari, Tony Rominger needed 455-460w to achieve his 55.291 in 1994, which is 6.9 w/kg. No limit EPO era... Jens is a legend but I can't help but feel this is a publicity stunt.
SwissVan Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Any idea of what wattage he needs? No sorry.... this is the kind of stuff i hope the commentators touch on Hemel... I dont know if i want to know lest i die from embarrassment
GaryvdM Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Or more specifically watts/kg Watts/kg really does not matter. What matters is watts/drag where the drag is the combination of mechanical resistance and air resistance. Watts/kg only matters when you are climbing, which is normally the important thing for road races because this is where time gaps are made/lost.
DJ84 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I would has it a guess at roughly 460-470 watts to get to 50km on the hour. That's with him and bike weighing in at 82kg's (have no clue what he weighs) Second thought,could even go as low as 430-440 if he has a great aero-position but i dont think it would be that low.
SwissVan Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Average watts for the hour will be rather interesting to see WRT to the record attempt, Jensie gains an advantage over the previous record holder due to technology so he "should" have a good chance and coupled with his "shut up legs" attitude this moves to an excelent chance...and he has the experience of a Master
GaryvdM Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 That's with him and bike weighing in at 82kg's (have no clue what he weighs) Weight does not matter as there are no hills.
