A Ball Park figure on the pros wattage during a final climb

Question 1: I wanted to know if anyone has any ball park figures or any guestimates on a pro cyclists' wattage in the last 1-2km's of a summit finish. (ie giro, vuelta)


Question 2: Someone told me they are generating such high wattage and that is the reason they don't need to stop on the side of the road and put long sleeves and tights on like you and I when going up a final 18kms to a summit finish.

Thanks for any info..
