Last 5k's: Avg Speed 48.3, Avg Watts 428
Last 10k's: Avg Speed 42.3, Avg Watts 401
Keutenberg: 33.8 Avg Speed, 451 Avg Watts
Kruisberg (where he attacked first): Avg Speed 24.7, Avg Watts 634
For comparison, he generated approximately the same amount of maximum power when he was dutch champion last year (1470 max watts on the sprint then vs 1400 now).

The numbers look surprisingly human. He must weigh less than he looks.
Which is the only right decision.Logic-is-your-friend said:I think it mainly confirms Moerenhout will do anything to get Mathieu on board.

Ricco' said:How many riders have won a CX World Cup, a XCO World Cup and a WorldTour/CDM classic in the same year?
I'm fairly sure that since the beginning of the World Tour in 2005 the number is 0, but from the past, is there anyone who qualifies for this?
Yep, never doubted him. He is great with those monster pulls during those XCC races. He won 3 of those last season I think.The Chicken said:Just watched him win the short track XC on Red Bull TV. He was way behind for most of that race but put in a monster move. Worth watching (even though I've spoilt it for you).
