MvdP powerdata last 800 meters of the Amstel Gold Race

Indeed. 80/197 is 41%. I hit that every time I head to the kitchen for another coffee.

Almost 400 NP for 4,5 hours…

let’s be serious; everyone in the peloton won that lottery, some more than others.

And if you back calculate from the following information:

You get an I.F. of 0.93 with an FTP of 425.

Having watched the race, which is on youtube, I’m not sure that he’s at racing weight yet. Maybe it’s the blue kit, but he does look heavier than last year.

Having said that, it was like he had entered the boys race… Once he was up the road the others just looked at eachother and couldn’t muster a chase.

That’s gotta mean the FTP that the NP and TSS were calculated against is too low, right? There’s no way a person could do 0.93 IF for 4.5 hours, right? …right?

I didn’t watch the race but if it had a lot of high power sprints and then coasting it could have inflated the NP a bit.

This is true. Two short climbs of around 250 meters at around 15% average.

But still… Impressive

Oh for sure! 385 or 390 is no less impressive than 396! He still took my 4-5 min power and did it for 4+ hours!

He did the last 44k solo. There were no surges here.
