Those of you with PowerTaps may have already read the newsletter today, but for those who haven't, this is pretty cool.

Negative splits/positive efforts in the pro ranks...

480W feels like barely pedaling for a Pro? :eek:

can't watch while i'm at work! damn the government!

Good to know Slipstream is using Macs.

join the navy....i can see it fine.!

I got around the problem, Lim is such a nerd. i love it.

Hell, *I* want to do ~400 watts for the first kilometer of a prologue. I bet it does feel like almost nothing to pro's. Adrenaline and no lactic acid (built up yet) count for a lot.

cool video. if only they would have lingered over that spread sheet a little longer....

Seeing your location - you deserve it. Go Navy!

I cheated. I know danielson's CdA

I hope I'm not the only one who thought "hey, that'd be a cool job." :o

I would kill a considerable number of people to be in his position.

And now everybody does:

Whoopsies!

It's interesting to note that the Disco bike tested faster alone, but slower with TD aboard.

ide end up killing a few people (athletes) if i was in his position.

PM me, we'll team up on this one. We can make it happen by the Giro.

Take the canolis. Leave the gun.

Heres all the screenshots you can see if anyone is interested. :)

So the takeaway is VandeVelde on Cervelo = win.

If Allen Lim wakes up with a horsehead in his spreadsheet. Don't even think of us.

Or the head tube of a Felt.

Ok, Part 2 is up now:

f-sake, 501W for 4 minutes. Millar is not a big boy for that kind of power. My CP4 is probably only around 440W, and I'm a lot bigger.

Tom must have just been running it to get numbers for Lim, and not competing, with a 390W average. That's attainable power for us mortals.

525W for Millar when the Tour comes around.
It always blows my mind what a body can do with talent and the right training.

These videos are really sweet. Its interesting that the difference in staying aero vs not can be the difference between 7th and 2nd place.

Accuracy +/- 10 watts? That's impressive.

I have actually become friends, (was/is still my "coach") with a PhD that has turned down many job offers similar to Lim's due the lifestyle issues and the "drug" thing.
