How do you calculate that?

Cleaner riders having to measure their efforts more sensibly over the whole race responsible for a less exciting "elan and panache" devoid race? I for one don't think it was boring but I'd certainly prefer a bit less excitement than dope fuelled heroics any day.
Ok, my average is 3.96 watts/kg... is that good? Bad? Needs improving no doubt...
Mind, my last lactate treshold test was before the beginning of the season, mid March, so I expect it to have improved a bit now :)
There's so much more to 'elan and panache' that simply riding a bicycle quickly. That's like saying skiffle is just about the washboard :closed:
According to this chart that is "very good".Quote:
