Did he accidentally set his power meter to pause recording at speeds below 43.6kph?

I did the event yesterday.
There’s a roundabout about 2 miles from the turn that you go straight over before the end of lap turn. His first time Joe turned here, hence his lap was 16 miles rather than the full 20 and he did not pass the lap counters at the far end of the lap.
They thus deducted the entire incomplete lap from the number of complete laps to calculate distance. He was given around 308 miles officially, so not a DQ. This was on the results board at HQ, after a long delay.
Remarkably this was still enough to win the event, with second and third around 303 miles. This was the National 12 hr championship so a good field of 12 hour specialists there as their ‘A’ race. So a massively impressive ride.
Also it was horribly windy all day, really I’d expect 310-315 rides and way more than just 3 guys going over 300 if it had been calmer conditions. 3 riders crashed, one badly, no cars or anything else involved, just simply losing control in the wind. Decent day and Joe would have gone well beyond 330 (current national record is 321). There was a massive DNF rate, looked like 30-40% of the field.
I did 262.219 miles, hardest day on the bike of my life.

I think this gives us some perspective on the standards of the non-Sanders top athletes.
They might not be posting videos of their intervals, but they sure can ride.
This ride is incredible.
Edit: need to stop being catty.

I can't believe he smoked a cigarette at the finish then warmed down with a 10 mile tempo run in vibrams

It's the single most impressive athletic achievement I've seen in 2019. Quite simply, it's unfathomable he held that level of power for 12 hours. He won't be able to walk for a week after that effort. Kudos to Joe Skipper!

He burned 1k Calories/hr. I wonder what his nutrition plan was.

People forget just how good Joe is. Numerous sub 8 IM's and top 7 at Kona, all after fairly average swims which leaves him having to play catch up. Well done Joe.

What an effort though for such a long distance!

Great ride for you and for sticking it out on that finishing circuit: super tough in that wind.
Spoke to Joe just before the start and he was clearly aiming for the record (shame about his wrong turns).
Also said he was aim for top 5 at Kona.
Top bloke and awesome athlete.

Post 6 explains the difference in distance (and I guess speed), but not the difference in power. Unless the data was added to TP manually?

I have no dog in this fight but 25.4 mph for 12 hrs *seems* a lot more believable than 27.1 mph. I mean, if he could avg 27.1 mph on a very windy day for 12 hrs, then I would *think* he could hold 28-28.5 mph for a 4 hr ride in most IMs, which would imply routinely going 4 hrs or faster, which I don't *think* he has done, AFAIK, but OTOH I haven't kept track of his iron bike splits.

That looks like Andy Jackson’s data - he’s an athlete that races for AeroCoach and who won the 24hr TT champs last year. He was awarded second on the day but if Joe gets a DQ he’d get upgraded to first. Andy was the first to admit that Joe had a stunning ride, he definitely was the strongest rider on the day but just had a bit of an admin error with the route.
