I'm pretty sure this is a pseudo-faq, but a quick google didn't turn it up.
Best I've ever managed, in prime conditions (steep, straight road, tailwind, strong spin-out of the
top gear, tuck) is 55-56 mph. Paul Sherwen said last year during one of the tours that Sean Kelly
hit 72 mph once, and the pros are frequently claimed to be hitting 65 mph.
Their gears aren't that much longer than mine, and the downhills over there aren't THAT much steeper
than our are here. Are they? How can they go 15+mph faster than I can, trying my best? Every
additional mph is so much harder to achieve.
