Out, he’s not on the official provisional start list which was put up online at some point today I think.I got an email first thing this morning with it and updated this afternoon 😉

Nibali’s average
Horse….. 😕Nibali’s average output uphill in the Giro was 5.62 W/kg but that’s based on guesses, because I don’t think he uses a power meter. Infact he’s against them (see the quote).
But lets just say that the 5.62 W/kg was right and take it for 70kg, even though Nibali is only around 60kg.
5.62 W/kg x 70kg = 393.4 watts. 90 above your calculations.
Lets also take the “suspicion level” (for doping) W/kg which is around 6.2 W/kg
6.2 W/kg x 70kg = 434 watts….
Not that I know what any of this means, nor do I really care how many light bulbs they can power 👿
[quote]”Yesterday I did something pretty important. I’ve done lots of others attacks like that but it was special because it came off.
“Sky has a certain way of interpreting the race. Lets call it scientific, even if it’s perhaps not the right term. They work to impose their rules on the race. However, yesterday you couldn’t impose a pace; you need legs as certain kinds of strategy don’t work.”
Nibali explained that he is in favour of race radios but against power metres. On Monday he suggested banning power metres from races in a message on Twitter.
“People say radios ruin the racing but it’s the riders who decide the best tactic during the race, as I did with other riders yesterday. We aren’t radio controlled from the team car,” he argued.
“Power metres help you understand how you feel and show your limits but in certain moments we’ve seen how Sky control their effort. Without power metres that wouldn’t be possible.”
“At the Tour de France, Team Sky controlled the race with a great team. At the Tour there weren’t stages like yesterday or a hard day in the rain. Yesterday was important because I was able to build my success.”
I’m neither a good guy or bad
I’m neither a good guy or bad guy.Its not that I dislike you, hell I don’t even know you. I just find the constant new threads annoying sometimes. Especially when there was one open about the race that is discussing everything from rosters to values and all in between.
It wasn’t bad to ask, and I guess from the replies that others have left, they feel I “snapped” at you. Which wasn’t my intention, I just thought I’d be a bit more firm with my reply, because of the new threads all the time.
To try and clear up one thing, I tend not to use 3rd party sites like Pro stats or other websites. I do not know where their information comes from, but in general, a number of their start lists are wrong until an official one is released. I go straight to the horses mouth and get them from people inside the races and UCI. Sometimes the information I get is just the best they have at the time and it can be old data or wrong aswell. But its the best I have to work from.
As I said, it will need updated when a full and final start list is announced. Which, for any race that I’ve run these season, I get slightly ahead of Joe Public 😉

Jose Joao Pimenta Mendes, is listed in the game as 27 and Portuguese, unfortunately we do not work on birthdays, so some riders may be listed as a year younger than they actually are in real life. But at this point in the season. I am not going through over 1600 riders to work out if their age is correct. That is done at the end of December, where I can just bump them all up a year 😀Jose Costa is a different rider for the same team….and he’s not in the Dauphine startlist…..
If you say so. I can’t see
If you say so. I can’t see any in the startlist, the rankings show EVERY rider (1621 of them) to me, with all the ones in this race, highlighted in yellow….. So I still see this109 Levi Leipheimer – no trade team – 218
