MvdP powerdata last 800 meters of the Amstel Gold Race

Indeed. 80/197 is 41%. I hit that every time I head to the kitchen for another coffee.

letā€™s be serious; everyone in the peloton won that lottery, some more than others.

And if you back calculate from the following information:

You get an I.F. of 0.93 with an FTP of 425.

Having watched the race, which is on youtube, Iā€™m not sure that heā€™s at racing weight yet. Maybe itā€™s the blue kit, but he does look heavier than last year.

Having said that, it was like he had entered the boys raceā€¦ Once he was up the road the others just looked at eachother and couldnā€™t muster a chase.

Thatā€™s gotta mean the FTP that the NP and TSS were calculated against is too low, right? Thereā€™s no way a person could do 0.93 IF for 4.5 hours, right? ā€¦right?

I didnā€™t watch the race but if it had a lot of high power sprints and then coasting it could have inflated the NP a bit.

This is true. Two short climbs of around 250 meters at around 15% average.

But stillā€¦ Impressive

Oh for sure! 385 or 390 is no less impressive than 396! He still took my 4-5 min power and did it for 4+ hours!

He did the last 44k solo. There were no surges here.
