How many hours do you put in per week?

To me, all the w/kg stuffs doesn’t make as much sense as raw absolute power IRL

As always, it depends, there are several guys I ride with who blow me away in terms of raw watts in FTP (by ~50w), but I drop them regularly either because I am lighter, I have a longer TTE or I am way more aero……or some combination of all 3, depending on the situation.

There are more variable than pure watts or W/KG.

Climbing and W/Kg

I have a question about climbing and W/kg. At what gradient does W/kg dominate over absolute watts? There must be some physics answer of course tho it’s out of my depth. I used to just assume it always matters, but I know big power riders can climb w the best of them (like WVA) on single digit gradients but featherweights take the cake when it’s double digit. Does anyone have a link to some article that sheds light on this question: when does it really matter?
