In my 20's I saw a max of 212 in a test workout on the track. At the time I regularly help over 200bpm for entire races. 25 years later I know it is not nearly that high but have not used a heart rate monitor in over 20 years.

I recall reading once that Eddy Merckx, the absolute greatest cyclist of all time and aerobic freak, had a heart rate that maxed out at 160 bpm.

7 w/kg for 10 mins is pretty good.
i hear there is some kind of chart or something that would help put that in context.
His numbers are completely debased from reality i can't take him seriously. That is close to 7 w/kg for 10 minutes which would put him in with a handful of world tour pro's. I don't know if he simply lies about power or has no clue how to calibrate/zero offset his trainer/PM's.
Yeah its simply not true. If he was at or near 7 with that big upper body for swimming, he could drop 3-5 kilos and ride away from the best, many of whom have doping raps. There was an extensive study of Tibault Pinot and his peak 10 minute power over 3 seasons was exactly 7 w/kg at a lower absolute power, his 5 hour power was right around 5 w/kg likely from a race not a test. Lionel is not that good and we don't see him doing 350-380w for his IMs, the correlation should be there for such a diesel engine.

47yo and the 220 minus age doesn't add up for me. I hit 192 on my run today with a 174 average. I pushed it a bit at the end to the finish of the 5k.....
