Your talking about competence is pretty silly

you actually go slower down 21% grades than you do on 7% grades like a large number of the roads in the Alps.Now I don't want to insult Lou, but someone that comes from a country that averages 2 meters below sea level should not be talking abput descending speeds.Pff, we have the Alpes and other mountain ranges I ride for 35 years. Tom you did not do 65 mph on a decpscent and your 40 km time is not 26 min and 24 sec. You probably left your Garmin on driving home in your car.
LouLou, you can believe anything you like. The max power came from a power meter and that is a level that would verify the 40 K speed. If it makes you feel better you may pretend that I don't have a Garmin at all. For all I care you can pretend that
26 min and 24 sec. That is an average speed of almost 91 km/hr. Tell me what descent in the US is 40 km long AND you are able to average 91 km/hr. Again do a sanity check. Point me also to a climb in the US (show me the gradient profile). With gradientsIf an intern at work comes to me with a result from a finite element program my first question is did you do a sanity check? . I would like to ask you the same question.

Short but if you don t have the right gear you walk.

Tom states unequivocally that the power number came from a power meter, and that number was a PR within the last three years.
Tom has also stated unquivicoally that he doesn't use a power meter ever since he had the PowerPod several years ago (well over three years).
