I should also point out that the above graphs are for one particular and undefined workout. My ride yesterday had a training stress score of 354. Recovery from that will be longer than an hour's ride with a few intervals which might have a training stress score of 65. That said, today I'll do a short recovery ride and then go to the gym and lift max weights. It's often good to hit the system hard two days in a row, but in different ways. Bigger supercomp. And remember, after the TdF is when riders who did well show up at crits and mountain TT's and take the cups. So it's certainly not just about one workout.
