How have you worked that out? Do you know what his weight was in 2011? He said his weight at the Olympics was 75kg, which would give 7.7w/kg - but he could easily have been more in the season before then. Also, let's not forget that he was pretty much the best pursuiter in the world at that time - not some amateur doing the odd hill event.dh_1988 said:I think it's already been shown that the 5 minute w/kg on Coggan's chart needs to be updated. There was a post on Wattage about it years ago.
Here's a tweet from Geraint Thomas:

"Just done my 5minute power efforts on the turbo with Jez. Had him by 3w, 580 pretty happy with that..."
So 8 to 8.3 on the chart.
Wiggins was reportedly 69kg for the Tour so would only need 524.4 to hit the max but MUST be doing more than Geraint if he's a better pursuiter.
And if they were putting out 8w/kg, why haven't Thomas or Wiggins broken the world pursuit record, if they're putting out 0.5+w/kg more than Boardman; they should be going under four minutes with that kind of power advantage.
