Sorry if already posted, and I know it doesn’t mean anything without the digits, but DAMN.
I think she puts up plenty good numbers! I’d love to hold her speed for even 5 miles. Not sure her FTP (watts), but I’m sure she maximizes it all at the speed she goes.
…and she is a first rate individual to boot. I know that is not the point of the thread, but I have had the opportunity to meet her a few times (I live and ride in Boise) and you could not ask for a more gracious and friendly champ. She mentioned that she was planning on focusing on the track for a while and I am eagerly looking forward to seeing what she can accomplish there.

Everything?
Yeah, that’s an impressive position. sings get low, get low
She could sit up and blow past everyone considering what she is riding.
She looks like she could hammer Cancellara…Perhaps we can have a battle of the sexes.
P.S. Why are the guys on the P3 while she is on the P4? Are they still trying to keep the P4 a secret?
Looks wicked fast!
…made possible by her flexibility. Quite the understatement. I’m sure if I tried to race like that my back would not cooperate. Maybe a spasm or slipped disc.
P.S. Why are the guys on the P3?
A few of us had that exact conversation on a ride last week. We couldn’t settle the issue for Cervelo, so I guess the men will remain on the P3 until we can make a decision and let them know. Hopefully the weather will cooperate tomorrow and we can hash out the details for good since I’m pretty sure Gerard, Phil, Carlos, and pretty much the rest of the Western world is eagerly awaiting our conclusion.
I got to ride with one of the top female road racers last year and she says the power she puts out is unreal. The lady I was riding with was doing over 500watt 1 minute max intervals with me, dead tired from a 4 hour fast ride the day before. But she says there is no comparisoon between her and Kirsten. Shes an animal-male or female!!
I read an article about her a few days ago in the Dr. office. She was diagnosed with osteoarthritis at the age of 28. She said that she must keep three disciplines in her life in balance; eating right, stretching and exercise. I guess all that stretching pays off in her flexibility. It was a very interesting article.

It is my understanding, via the guys at Cronometro, that the various sizes in P4 won’t be rolled out competely until summer. If you are an odd size, you’ll have to wait…
