I fully understand that you can't put a number on everything, but we can pretend, it's fun.

So...what I've been wondering is...what does it take to be a GC contender on the US Domestic scene, and what does it take on the Euro Big Kid's Playground scene? I figure there must be some general things, such as...


1) x-watts/kg for y time to cover the ITT's
2) the ability to ride at w% of x-watts/kg for y time n amount of times day after day
3,4,5,etc) I don't know, that's why I'm asking
