LOL! C'mon Steve! YOU can do it! BTW, that quote is from: https://www.cyclingforums.com/threads/do-i-have-potential.463931/
I've seen a couple of Jens Vight's power files from his most awesome punches off the front of the peloton and if Jen's could have held 600 Watts for just FIVE MINUTES he would have gone clear every time. Lance, in all his rocket fueled glory couldn't hold that kind of power.
Here's one of Jen's files: https://www.velonews.com/2012/08/an...-file-stage-4-of-the-usa-pro-challenge_235832
"Voigt’s functional threshold power (FTP) at sea level is around 420-440W" cyclintom should be able to crush Jens without breaking a sweat!
Tom claims his weight to be 180 pounds. That's 81.6466 Kg. 600 Watts at that weight is 7.349 Watts/Kg!!!! Holy Mother of holding a sprint for 20 minutes, Batman!
Every word out of Tom's mouth is BS.
And I thought Alf and his "1 MM air gap" while riding an UltraTorque crank was physically impossible!
I can't figure out for the life of me why some folks choose to live in an altered state of reality, but to preach pure, unadulterated horse manure to some newbie on a "Do I Have Potential" thread? Insanity.
To further claim, "And 20 minutes of 600 watts is 200 watts below top end senior racers who can hold that output for long periods of time and not 20 minutes in case you're unaware of it.", is way, way, WAY beyond fantasy. 800 Watts? For any sustained effort? That's nutzy cuckoo.
I've raced against a few of the fastest masters in the country. None of them can hold 800 Watts for more that a short attack and 7.3 Watts/Kg? That's the stuff of dreams, baby!
I'll stand patiently by to read some more BS.
