I appreciate the science that goes into these tests and understand that there is a positive correlation between VO2 max and athletic performance.

However, if I were tested and came back with a big ol' 50 for my VO2 (it's significantly higher), or saying that I'm hitting 4mmol at only 250w, I wouldn't care either way. All that matters to me is that I can produce the power for the durations that I want. They can't measure your pain threshold, and I know that I can push well above the defined "LT" for quite some time.

Oh yeah, to the OP: Your sedentary, fat, Tyler Hamilton-esque imaginary chimera twin wants his jersey back.
