I weigh in at around 146#, and have an FTP of 225w. That's low. I get the results from my team's Time Trial session today, so I'll see where that puts me, but here's what I've figured out:

- On flats, it's all about raw power. Going fast means putting a big number in front of the W.
- On climbs, it's all about power/weight ratio. A 300w FTP isn't gonna help you if you weigh 100kg.
