Pro Average Speed + Distance
- Thread starter mcgr
- Start date
I dunno, i'd say the pro's average 42+ kmph on the grand tours, for 200km per day for 3 weeks.mcgr said:
mcgr...don't be getting ahead of yourself. Try to enjoy your cycling, if you want to cycle JUST to become a pro, you won't get there. As limerickman said in an earlier thread, join a local bike club, and try have fun. Then you'll discover yourself whether you have it in you to be as good as the pros.
What can a Ducati do?
A Suzuki GSX?
A Porche?
A cyclist w/o drugs
Just steroids?
Steroids, insulin and EPO?
Steroids, insulin, EPO, RSR-13, cow blood cells?
Steroids, insulin, EPO, corticoids, cow blood and Pot Belge?
The answer to your question is dependent on how unethical you are.

Dr.H leave mcgr alone.
He is a young guy looking to get into and enjoy cycle racing.
He has to start somewhere and hopefully he will race, enjoy and improve.
If he has aspirations of getting to pro level then all well and good.
Your ******** is not helpful and is not welcome!

Well, first off there are diff. types of pros. For example:mcgr said:
1. Sprinters (e.g. Robbie McEwen)
2. Time Trialists (e.g. Bradley Wiggins)
3. Mountain Climbers (e.g. Michael Rasmussen)
Then there are the all arounders like Lance. Each is diff. in capabilities.
The second thing is that there's the speed they can do on flat ground for, say, 100 miles which is amazing but probably not that far diff. from the top amateurs. HOWEVER, the mountains is where the top guys just blow it out of the water. Example: Lance rode the Col de Maradonna (8 mile long, more than 8%) in 30 minutes 27 seconds. That's 16 mph, up an 8% gradient! So the area where these guys just blow the door off normal cyclists, or even top amateurs, is on climbing.
So if you had 100 miles with three hors category climbs, the pros would destroy everyone by a greater margin than on a flat 100.
I may save a life.
You sir are a fraud and drug cheating apologist.
You are a BS meister. Cow blood dopermeister.

Lance is NOT an all rounder. He is a Nike endorsed cow blood doper cheat.
A fraud.
Like Michael Vick or Marion Jones.

So are you suggesting that nobody should ever take up cycle racing,Doctor.House said:
from club level to pro ranks?
Did I read on another post were it was claimed you have or do coach young riders?
If thats correct it's a little hypocritical don't you think.
mcgr said:
The first objective for you is to see if you can race at local level before worrying about the speed of the professional peloton.
I think I suggested to you on another thread that you need to join a local club and ride there and try to get placed in races.
That's the first objective which you need to achieve.
I get the feeling that mcgr is full of **** anyway... posting ******** threads like this to get us all going.... we are being taken for a ride and not on a bike.......Trev_S said:
Nobody should inject cow blood and chemo drusg to race professionally.
Where is the hypocrisy?
Grow up little Trev.

Oh, and for a TT, Lance won a 58 kilometer time trial (that's 36 miles) at a speed of 53.896 kph, or 33.48 mph. So he rode for just over an hour at 33.5 mph (and there were some small hills in there). I don't think I could do 10 minutes at 33.5 mph on a flat.mcgr said:
