Tour Power Data

[simplyred]

What will be more interesting is when more of the tour pros share their data, training regieme and race. From that data, it might be possible to have a sufficient sample size to start to see how different training strategies prepare riders for particular events. The more transparent this data becomes, the more helpful it will be when it filters down.

I wonder if pros are so awesome that they can train anyway which way they like [within reason] and still pound out great rides.

Because it can be tough to determine if they achieved success because of or in spite of their training regimes.

True story - I met an American UCI-rider at the gym who was telling me of his good times down @ the Tour of Oz. He was drinking himself silly before a race with some Euro-pros. One of them took the bunch sprint. He also told me to get off the spinning bike and lift weights.
