He looks strong and very relaxed in the interviews. How do you rate our ladies team, Mariska and Candice? Hope they can pull it off. Unfortunately I am not. I really wish I was truth be told but I flew home To spain on Monday and fly to Dubai for meetings and some team things tomorrow. Candice and Mariske I believe they can do well, really well and I have confidence in them doing just that. They need to keep it upright and have their bad day Better than their competitions bad day.

DieselnDust Posted October 17, 2021 Share What this means is that Matt is a real contender. I really hope his team gives him the opportunity to race world cup XCO in 2022 babse, Hairy, splat and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your defence I do get messages from numbers I don’t know or who the person is often asking me “is this right” with a picture of Matts strava. in its own right I find it weird that many people have my number and find it normal to ask me about Matts data Edited October 17, 2021 by J Wakefield Jewbacca, Hairy, OVERDRIVE and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky4130 Posted October 17, 2021 Share 34 minutes ago, J Wakefield said: As reference he did his best 5min power today but only his 3rd best 10min and 2nd best 20min. the 5 was as expected from the start up 1st climb. 5min is typically your peak power so when you do that math. This is right inline. This is the issue I have with intervals and Strava. Do some high 1min, 5min and 10min watts and then it throws out some unrealistic New FTP based on critical power?

peetwindhoek Posted October 17, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, davidtinker said: Matt Beers posted power data on Strava so I created a fake account for him on Intervals.icu. To me the power looks unlikely i.e. something up with his PM. https://forum.intervals.icu/t/matt-beers-fake-account/5080 I believe that is below his FTP, hmmm, {insert he has to up those numbers meme here} ????

I don’t know to much on the algorythims for those platforms but the average power that strava shows is higher than I have on TP - it’s a double digit. As anyone knows pushing power, this is a big value to push over any duration. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intervals delivers eFTP value that aligns with other algorithms. The only problem is that it won't give you an accurate power curve. This is a problem with all FTP tests that does not require a 60min flat out TT Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
