Absolutely incredible. 5 x U23 kids under 4:20 in Oz? Are you listening USAC?
I really hope we see this kid along with Taylor on a few drag race road prologues this year. Along with Tony Martin, If those two line up with FC at Paris Nice or Tour of CA we might see Spartucus off the podium in a TT for the first time in years.

I'm guessing Tom A, Andrew C, RChung and a few others are either really busy at work, or they're already analyzing the ride ;-)

If one can do 500W for 2 minutes, how far away are they from 4 minutes? :)

Wow. Seriously.
I really hope USA Cycling tries to continue fostering our new crop of young talent.

I have not tried it on the tt bike, just road bike. It will be interesting to see if I can carry over the same power with practice. Right now at 148.

I'd bet he'd be capable of being in the 700 watt range for a 2 minute effort.

What do the ST Aero Gurus think of his setup?
Flat discs - no toroidal shape or dimples. Giro helmet with several large vents.

I'm pretty sure he was on Mavic Cometes which are toroidal. He usually uses a Giro with shrinkwrap over the vents, but it appears he did not this time. That's kind of interesting, the officials may have made him remove it for not being factory spec, but that visor is not stock either...

I read somewhere that the conditions were very good. Temps in the 40C range. Vents needed for brain function?

Methinks you meant "lenticular"...which the Comete has lenticular flanges. It does not have the torodial bulge of the Zipp or Hed type designs.

No yaw angle on a track -> "narrowness" of the tire and disc is everything.

I wouldn't be certain there is no yaw. I am sure that the aussies were experimenting with really wide rear tires on the track. Not sure Jack was on them, but they are out there; and desirable for their lower rolling resistance.

When I saw the title I thought for sure when I clicked on it I was going to see a photo of a 4'10" 534 pound fat lady. But it turned to be a 4000m time.

LOL and I thought it was some new-fangled expression of the OPs height...
