600 watts and 170 rpm ?

Around 1600 to 1800+ W, probably around 130+ revs/min. World class track sprinters (200m) are ~2000+ W

Most males (all??; cyclists; and healthy sedentary and less than 60 y o???) could exceed 600 W

All current male Australian team track sprinters produce between 1900 - 2200watts.
Kerrie Meares (Australian female sprinter) produces 1300 watts which is about the same as what Robbie McEwen produces in a bunch sprint.
(Info from Bicycling Australia)

Also read in Bicycling Australia a couple of years ago that male olympic track sprinters can reach a cadence of 210rpm with no resistance.

Don't know much about roadies but from watching mario's sprints I'd say he has more power than robbie but slower cadence.

Thx
very interesting info
