I know you get a lot of help from the bunch, but honestly... They're averaging 47 km/h. I'll hold him, you hit him...

Just heard the lassie on Eurosport say that they gave Pettachi a heart rate monitor today but that it seems to be picking up other peoples heartrate and they think he might have left it in the car! Now 63bpm while driving I can imagine but 63bpm while riding at 47 km/h can't be possible. Can it?

It happened yesterday too, I think it is possible bearing in mind their resting heart rate is probably 30 or so. Being sprinters means their heart rate probably doesn't start rising to the end or climbing hills. On the flat, they're just cruising in the middle of the peleton.

Eurosport had firaly frequent reports on Kirsipuu's heart rate during their live coverage. Mostly it was around 60% of maximum (apparently maximum=199 in this case), but did go up to 90% or so on the climbs (such as they were).

TBH I find it hard to believe that he had only 36% of max for any sustained period during the race...

Hi Paul
D'you know what sort of %age of their theoritical maximums riders would try to maintain during an individual time trial?
FWIW, I enjoyed seeing those all too brief heart rates (all too brief = the graphics, not the heart rates). Totally OT, I'd like to see a read out of F1 drivers' heart rates. Barrichello (just after he's been asked to move over - again) =

Joking aside, I read that Niki Lauda used to average 190 bpm while racing. Moreover, a team of French scientists had the Ferrari drivers wired up during the 1981 season. Dider Pironi spent almost the entire duration of Monaco well above 200 bpm, while at Dijon, Gilles Villeneuve had a peak flash reading of 165 bpm, while flying off the road in a fourth gear corner.
And getting castigated as a wimp by Australians (assorted). Though it now seems that a "mystery virus" has attacked Fassa Bortolo, so maybe he hasn't got a note from his Mum saying he's allergic to mountains after all.

Hi Dave
I did actually have some idea of the figures involved for GP drivers as I recall Murray saying - several times - that if a F1 driver was found by an ambulance crew he'd be immedately taken into casualty.
The one "health" problem that still shocks me regards Senna and his home GP at Interlagos, Sao Paulo (sp?) - can't recall the year. I heard a recording of the Senna to McLaren pits radio when Senna was on his slow down lap having just won (AFAIK) the race. He was screaming his head off for most of the lap but not in a celebration of victory. AFAIU the situation, all his body was cramping.
