You're NOT that strong. Good racers can barely hold 25 mph in a time trial on a time trial bike wearing aerodynamic gear. On a road bike they'll hold, say, 23 mph. And those riders will kick your ass and drop you like used toilet paper.

36/23 cubed is almost four.

That means GOOD RACERS have to hold almost four times their aerobic threshold power for a full minute or two to hold the speeds you're claiming. And they're a LOT faster then you.

You'd probably have to do five or six times your aerobic threshold to hold the speeds you claim to hold for a minute or two.

No one on this planet does that.

Why aren't you taking Mark Cavendish's spot in the TdF?
