Found a fun video below of a bmx, mtb and track cyclist sprint challenge from various distances 25-200 meters. I know bmx guys can touch 2000+ but the track guy does 2700w peak . Also it’s crazy how fast bmx guys can spin.
FYI it’s in German but I had subtitles.

To be honest, I was quite surprised at that peak power number. I thought 2,400~2,500 W was the limit track sprinters could reach and that BMX pros were on par with that. 2,700 W is bananas.
Entertaining. It would have been interesting to see power files for each rider for each effort and gearing used by the track and BMX riders. I wonder how much the results would change with the trackie on the same ratio as the BMX rider.
Track guy was definitely overgeared for the shorter sprints. I also wonder what their 100 meter time was? It was hard to tell with he camera cuts. It’s be interesting to throw Usain Bolt in there…
