…they could time trial as badly as Andy Schleck?

Roger that!!

In my on TT start from a ramp, I looked like Contador.

From time to time, when I’m relatively fit (by my pathetic standards) I head to the Auckland Waterfront for the saturday morning TT. It’s a whopping 16km :slight_smile:

I have found my best (or least bad) results come from accelerating firmly but not super hard, then riding the high limit on my HRM. I set it at 175BPM. I can hold that from about 1km until 16km. I’ve tried 180BPM but invariably the wheels fall off about 12km and I limp home at 160BPM wondering why I can’t see out of one eye and why the oonst oonst disco music is thumping in my head! LOL

I am truly embarassed by my times so won’t mention them here. Needless to say, Andy Schleck rides up Alp d’Huez faster than I TT on the flat!

Even the slowest pro rider can TT faster than the rest of us.*

It’s all relative.

Yep, true, but how much faster? havent you though of that?

While climbing like Andy would be amazing I would settle for climbing as fast as cavendish.
