1000W for 4 Minutes
I heard about some track racer being able to ride for 4 minutes at ~1000W, can anyone shine some light on this?

Okay, memory test here- I remember reading several months ago, probably in the road forum, where some "large" professional cyclist held the record for wattage done at some cycling show on stationary machine. Seems like that was 1200 watts or something, not necessarily for 4 minutes. Does that ring a bell with anyone? This guy was like 6'-6" with weight to match, and pro-caliber racer.
