Wout van Aert becomes the first rider since Chris Froome in 2016 to grab SIX stage victories in Tour Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes history 👏
WOUUUUUUUT 🔥
Tremenda victoria al sprint de Wout van Aert, que se lleva la victoria a la velocidad y pisa fuerte en la etapa 5 del TARA.
Desde Mañana se viene la montaña, pero alegra la victoria de Wout hoy.
Remco Evenepoel reveals his secret: “My threshold power is 425 watts.”
When I watched his latest YouTube video and he and his current coach, Dan Lorang, were speaking about exact numbers, I had to replay it again to make sure I heard right. And I did and I love that.
But what is that “threshold power” (and why 425W for Remco is insane)?
In cycling, threshold power (often called FTP for Functional Threshold Power) is the highest power output a rider can sustain for roughly 60 minutes before fatigue builds up too fast. It’s basically the “red line” where your body can still clear lactate almost as quickly as it produces it… and it is the sweet spot between aerobic endurance and anaerobic burn.
And PCS lists Remco currently at 63 kg, so it is basically 6,75 W/KG. For context, most strong amateur racers top out at 4–5 W/kg, even many pro domestiques sit around 5.5–6 W/kg. 6.7+ W/kg sustainable for 60 minutes is the top elite level and Tour podium contender.
Important detail: this was recorded in March after UAE Tour… so “early-season numbers.” And threshold power (and especially W/kg) is almost always higher after specific build-up and further altitude work. So it might be even better.
The last thing I will say about it is that I really love those Remco YouTube videos, the best ones of the big stars.
