Someone claimed on Bikeradar forums the 1min avg is under 1000w. I couldn’t believe that. It has to be monstrous. I bet they do 2000’s off the start and probably 1500 to 2000 the first half of the distance.
Makes me want ti create a local segment starting from a cul de sac where you can’t roll the start and see how long it takes me.
I bet starting in a 50t and small cog it would take me 2 minutes. Or more.
One minute from a dead stop is mind blowing strong.
I think some “GCN science “ is in store. Especially since I have the aero bars on the bike now.
Be careful sprinting on aerobars. That's how I broke my first bone. Pulling up on the extensions while pushing power makes for a bad time. Not saying don't do it, just be careful.
