Genetics have failed me
480W feels like barely pedaling for a Pro?

Hell, *I* want to do ~400 watts for the first kilometer of a prologue. I bet it does feel like almost nothing to pro's. Adrenaline and no lactic acid (built up yet) count for a lot.

Ok, Part 2 is up now:
https://www.saris.com/athletes/
f-sake, 501W for 4 minutes. Millar is not a big boy for that kind of power. My CP4 is probably only around 440W, and I'm a lot bigger.
Tom must have just been running it to get numbers for Lim, and not competing, with a 390W average. That's attainable power for us mortals.

It always blows my mind what a body can do with talent and the right training.

These videos are really sweet. Its interesting that the difference in staying aero vs not can be the difference between 7th and 2nd place.

Accuracy +/- 10 watts? That's impressive.
