There are already several threads about this, one of which was up on the front page about a week ago.

But, to humor you: sure. These seem to be very rough guidelines of what some people in each category are capable.

However, there will be many exceptions to the rule, with some guys being off the chart in one area and pretty poor in another area. It kind of irritates me when people say "Well, I put out Cat 1 wattage in such-and-such area". So why aren't they a Cat Whatever then? While wattage is the maker or breaker going up a hill, for the majority of us, the combination of race smarts and intelligently applied intensity are going to help us just as much as having a lot of power in the bank during that next neighborhood crit.
