Nilsson said:Pretty decent numbers. Deignan averaged 4.9 W/kg for 1 hour and 40 minutes, and did 5.1 W/kg in the last 8 km (is 28 minutes). Gesink rode that last part 3.15 min. faster and therefore should be around 5.8/5.9 W/kg...
Curious points for you. deignan final 7.35km, 5.1 W/kg, time 26:50.
Year before Horner final 8.75km, 5.5W/kg, time 23:35. Ummm...that is 13.6% further, 13% less time, which is 26% with only a 8% increase in power to weight. (I know loads of things could contribute to this, but that is a big discrepency.
What's at this 5.5W/kg, only leipheimer kept up with horner, however earlier on Mt Hamilton, at 5.6W/kg, for the same amount of time 30 guys did. Wierd no?
Just quietly did Horner re calibrate his SRM between stage 4 and 7?
