As Heathpack points out, what you prescribe doesn't make any sense, and no "top cyclist" on Earth engages such a training program.

Training is a series of variable intensity workouts designed to develop and improve certain skills and elicit certain physiological adaptations. "Picking" a power level and sticking to it "at all times" is simply impossible, and even if we imagine it were not, it would still be loser because it would not make anyone a better cyclist
