Just wanted to post this as well.
- it is pretty clear they did not exclude coasting/descending from the data
- they used 0.95 x CP20 for zone 2 and 3 boundary (which will yield a higher value)
- they use 0.85 x FTP for zone 1 and 2 boundary. they say this is a good surrogate for LT1 in pros. HOwever, they cite two old papers and base their assumptions on a correaltion of FTP and LT2 (with its thousands of different defintions)
Combining these inflates the green bars. It is without question that pros ride a lot of LIT but these bars look comical. And no one dares to call “emperor’s clothes” in the bubble.
And this paper will be cherry-picked by the Couzens of this world to form the current belief system.
