Cyclismag evaluation of power on GIRO
- Thread starter poulidor
- Start date
This is organized sport, a competition with specific boundaries to narrow the conditions for measurement.leerobbs said:
If it's just entertainment to you, then I presume you'd be OK with riders killing pushing each other into barriers and the like? After all, the only difference is that one form of cheating is obvious, the other slightly more subtle (only slightly, I suppose, until you see power evaluations from this year's Giro).
Do you know much the difference in difficulty affect the figures quantitatively? Blokhaus for instance was after a rest day and consisted of a bunch ride to the bottom of the climb. To this extent it was almost nothing more than a time trial after a rest day.

Give it up leerobbs. Some people are on a mission and just can't accept the reality of human nature trumping their fantasy world.
Thanks for posting these Poulidor. Is there one for the Dauphine/Ventoux yet?

Summarizing, Valverde and Szmyd produced the most performing results with an average of 405 Watts (up to Chalet Reynard, not considered higher than that due to high winds).
Evans/Contador 395 watts (very modest)
Valverde had a 15-minute passage of Chalet Reynard with 410 watts
Basso produced in average 30 watts less than at Blockhaus (Giro), which has almost same length as Ventoux.
Alejandro Valverde et Sylvester Szmyd, vainqueur de l'étape, ont été les plus performants cet après midi sur le Mont Ventoux à la fin de la cinquième étape du Critérium du Dauphiné. Entre Sainte Colombe et le Chalet Reynard, ils ont développé une puissance moyenne (étalon 78 kg avec vélo) de 405 watts. Le groupe Evans/Contador a développé 395 watts de moyenne sur le même tronçon.
La performance est relativement modeste pour des coureurs de ce calibre. David Moncoutié, en très bonne condition physique, a pu rester au contact. Valverde a accéléré avant le Chalet Reynard avec un passage de 15 minutes à 410 watts.
Ivan Basso n'est pas apparu au même niveau qu'au Tour d'Italie avec 30 watts de moins qu'au Blockhaus, une montée presque aussi longue que le Mont Ventoux.
Nous ne donnons aucun chiffre de puissance sur la fin de la montée en raison du vent fort, souvent de face.
