bruce Posted July 9, 2007 Share Check out the live data on the riders while they are riding: http://www.trainingpeaks.com/2007tourdata.asp Really interesting to see. And you can see their live position using GPS coordinates and Google Earth - really cool!!

Jason Posted July 9, 2007 Share Thanks bruce!I got live data yesterday at Northern Farm... Let's build the picture quick: I was cruising a long enjoying my first MTB experience, admiring the birds, the sun, the dams and rivers and all the lovely things nature provides when all of a sudden Crux pulls up next to me and says: Oh btw I only hit 1300 and something watts today... Thanks BIG guy... my energy levels dropped right there...

[/quote'] I hope so - CSC ride with SRM's so we may just be able to get it! Agreed - isn't it amazing how fast he looked - even though he is 12 seconds faster over 9 minutes, you can just see that he is going F$%king fast! Using online wattage calculators - to do 55km/h on a TT bike he would need to be pushing around 630watts for 9 minutes!!

Jason Posted July 9, 2007 Share bruce, I was looking through a few pics of Fabian (I have no choice Maria Sharapova got knocked out of Wimbledon so there are no pics of her ) in the prologue and it doesn't look like he was using a power meter. What site do you use to calculate the more or less power stats?

On such a flat course rider weight is not as much a factor as aerodynamics and pure power output.

A chap that pushes over 1300 - 1400 watts at training should do this in around 8 minutes or so or even less? So someone I know could if they really wanted to, be the next world TT champ Sweet...
