I'm 53 years old and a decent sprinter but, obviously way past my prime. Earlier this year on a training ride I hit 39.5 mph with a leadout, against a headwind on a flat, without even getting out of the saddle.
My point is, I can't believe Robby only tops out at 44 mph. Not if this old man can hit 40.
