What Type of Rider am I

Show us your power curve and we’d be able to give you an idea of whether you might tend towards a particular type of riding. None of us are going to threaten the TdF podium but there are ways to focus your desires and training towards likely success.

For instance if you weigh 100Kgs you are going to have a lot more to drag up a hill than a 50Kg rider.

If you can throw out a max of 1500W and still hold 800W after 15 seconds then you might have a hope of being a sprinter.

For instance, I’ll struggle to hit 1000W in a sprint, but i can hold 300W + for an hour easily enough. @ 74Kg, and i can get up hills pretty fast compared to others i ride with. Does this mean i’ll be a “climber”? No, not in any sense that it’d matter against real climbers (as they drop me), but it does mean that i can have fun doing that sort of riding rather than spending too much time trying to fine tune a sprint that just isn’t there.
