Pointless ITT analysis

Quoted message said:

Hi All,

Here are 2 graphs showing speed and HR for two cyclists on a 10km TT
on regular road bikes. The out and back course is more or less flat.
The turn around is higher than the start/finish.

What can be deduced about the riders based on this info alone?

Joseph

Rider 2 is heavier?

Heart rate at the end of a 10km max effort is sometimes cited as a good
estimate of MHR. The two riders would therefore have close to the same
MHR as each other.

Dumbass,
The students here are all dumbasses and can only answer multiple
choice questions. Please rephrase.

Taller, too.

Rider 2 had to buy the post-race beers, but probably doesn't care
because he didn't have to use frigging Windows to graph his Polar data.

Rider 2 has eccentrically chosen to use HR gridlines spaced at 6.5 bpm
intervals. What, is that a conversion from Imperial heartbeats?

As Dan pointed out, outbound-inbound difference suggests rider 2 is
heavier. However, higher inbound speed also suggests better watts/
meter^2, which scales less than linearly with height.

Rider 2 also exhibits poor judgment in encoding plots using JPEG. I wouldn't trust him.

So then Rider 1 is the doper?
