https://www.facebook.com/CyberCycleCoach we go to who has hundreds of files on road cyclists. Max power averages 93ish. He has seen it from high 80s to low hundreds.
That is a reason I'm very anti junior gears. I don't think anyone has max power on the road in the range the kids are forced to pedal.
Is there a specific gradient this pertains to? My max wattage cadence is much higher on anything less than 5% than it is on gradients above say, 10%. The wattage I produce is essentially equal, I'm just curious what terrain he was measuring those rpms on.
