A question on Calories

The heart rate is immaterial in terms of total calories burnt. There will likely be small differences in calorie burn depending on efficiency, etc, but you’d need lab testing to figure out those differences, they’re unlikely to be very large, and it could be rider A or B who is burning more.

Rider B is probably burning a lot more of those calories from glycogen stores not fat, and is also likely to have to stop a lot sooner :wink:
