I can see Shane is taking advantage of his threshold power.

From my chart his power numbers put him in the middle of the Cat I profile.
Is it Deven or Devan? Anyway, he's a beast too. He showed up at Murietta and cleaned up in the crit, taking all the primes and the win, and when I attacked from the gun in the circuit race, he was at the front of the train pulling me back in. I spoke with him after the race and he said it was his first race in the 4s. At Punchbowl in the 3s he attacked into the wind a few miles from the end and soloed to the win (although my teammate almost caught him), and then at the crit the next day he nearly lapped the field . He seemed to disappear at Ventura though, maybe he coming off form, or he finally found people faster than him
