Arnaud De Lie's win was insane to watch on TV, but his Strava reveals even more insane numbers. Just look at this.
He sprinted for 55 seconds over a distance of 492 m at an average gradient of 10%, and wait… he averaged 954 W with a max power of 1200 W.
Additional stats to this are that his avg. speed was 32,2 km/h with a max speed of 38,4 km/h, which is insane for a 10% gradient, and his average cadence was 86 rpm.
Sometimes De Lie produces an absolutely alien performance, but currently, unfortunately, it is just sometimes. But I believe he can get there and be more consistent.
