I need to know number of watts given speed, road grade, wind for elevation of 5600ft. And the equation as I will need to calculate his again in the future. The reason is the doctors require that I ride to keep the injuries ( after all the surgeries ) from turning into arthitis. The insurance company is filming me trying to prove that I was never injured by their driver's car that ran over me 2 1/2 years ago.
Right now I need to know number of watts given: speed = 20mph wind = 19mph tailwind road grade = 0% elevation = 5600ft
Thanks,

now that im riding for the druggist big al and put out 450 watts at threshold I should be beating zoops record at the tour next year. oldest mofo to win a tour. 38.....and on my way out of the winners circle I think I will stop by and pick up Kristin Armstrong for an all nighter......
thanks, I went through all their equations before posting and did not find what I was looking for.
I need to solve for watts with variables: wind, my speed, road grade, and elevation.

That is ridiculous. You only need to prove damage, not loss of power. Talk to your lawyer before you commit to this. You only need to use this evidence if it helps your case. They have no right to demand it and imply that this is the only possible damage evidence.
If John was filmed doing what he said above it could be used as proof of damage since the power needed to ride like that is very low. So let the insurance company try to use their film. John can counter by saying he used to be able to ride at 24mph with a 19mph tailwind while at 5600 feet elevation. He has apparently lost 20-50% (?) of his power and for a serious cyclist like John (was) that is a major impact on his quality of life.

It seems you need to know the values of more variables.

I would not risk it. I jury may have a vastly different perception about what 50 watts means vs. "flying along" on a bike. Maybe Brian can offer his thoughts (as an attorney) but it seems like a huge gamble with more downside then potential gain.

Why not just have seizures during filming and up the claim by a few million? These people need to be punished for hitting cyclists and insuring people who do. You can only get through to people via their pocketbook these days.

LOL. There you go. You can barely throw your leg over the t-t and when you do it keeps going and you fall down on the other side.

Again, something is not right. Nobody you know did that.
If you did, I would like to offer you a pro contract. Please contact me ASAP.
Perhaps it would help to mention that I didn't -average- 15 mph, but instead held it for about a second before cracking so hard that I only reached the top of the hill by turning my body in a vaguely circular way (good for about 5 mph) - I'd have to be a complete idiot to push myself that hard if it wasn't just before the finish line. I couldn't stand up for about 3 minutes afterward. I'll take the pro contract though, I'm only 20 and have lots of room for improvement 🙂
I touched 15 mph and probably averaged half that. Happy?
Alexandre, I am always happy. Perhaps you can go over to that thread on "improving my climbing" and give the chap there some advice. Your pulling 1200+ watts for 1 second out of your ass is as interesting as the estimate of momentary peak power output for a track sprinter of 2000+ watts. Interesting, but irrelevant compared to the reality that you probably averaged around 6-700W for the 15 seconds.
