Taylor Phinney – Track World Championships Interview & Recap U23 Team
Taylor Phinney (who just won the world championships) says that he puts out 530 watts (for 4 minutes 16 seconds) in the pursuit.
I don't know much about the pursuit, but somehow I expected higher than that. We keep hearing rumors of Tour riders having FTPs in the upper 400s, which would put 5m power at 600w or more, wouldn't it? And yet I don't think LA would have been great at the pursuit even at his peak.
