Improve threshold, period. My threshold has never been better than the beginning of my first season 2 years ago. After a year of racing and high intensity, it's gone down 20-30 watts. Working on that now. Power up to 8 or 10 minutes is still pretty good, so I'm optimistic.

Improve sprint, actually work on sprint. I can hit 1400 watts at 160 lbs, which isn't too bad, but having a jump at the end of a race is almost impossible for me, especially considering I know this fact, and purposely try to burn all my matches to finish in a break or ahead of the field. I'm more of an all around rider than anything, so upping threshold and sprint would really help give me options.
Forget the numbers. Yours are better than all of mine..

Focus more on recovery and racing smart. My $0.02.
