Sorry, maybe it was clear we were talking about amateur TT.

Seeing the effect of boutique amateur courses is pretty apparent though when the best amateurs cross over into sanctioned courses at national championships, etc.


I’d argue with that first that it’s important to note that a lot of the British scene revolves around power/CdA style courses whereas the sanctioned courses or continental tt’s involve a lot more of a bike handling or power to weight aspects. It’s a completely different style of racing that really becomes apparent when you speak to world tour pros about it.

That said, that article indicated that our best amateurs are circa 400w for 16km which is still impressive - especially when I know many of them have a CdA pushing 0.17.
