Correct, that being said, I dont think Cancellara is at 6.4 w/kg otherwise we would be able to climb with Clenbuterolero or Andy Schleck because if you take 3 riders at the same w/kg they should be able to go at the same speed.
My guess is Cancellara is more about 6 w/kg. He got about 40lb on Contador therefore he can produce more raw power at the same time he has to carry the extra weight and his bigger body is less aero. He got 20-25% extra weight over Contador or Andy S but he does not have 20-25% extra power over them.
After all he is winning those TT by seconds or 1:02 in 1h race (WC TT) where he won by about 2%.
