I was looking the TdF power files on the www.srm.de and within those files, the powers like never seem to go to zero Watts, not even in the long descents. In the figures they state "1 % smoothing", does this take the 0 watts away?
OTOH, the top speeds on the downhills seem to be ~75 km/h, could or would the same smoothing affect those as well?

Even a 1% smoothing over a 5 hour stage will yield a 3-minute long smoothing interval. [.01 * 5 * 60 = 3] Three minutes is a long time to go without pedaling, so it's not surprising to see only non-zero values in the cadence chart.
