What the Data Suggests
πͺ
Strengths to Protect
Exceptional repeatability β the engine keeps firing deep into the ride. Late-ride performance (top 56%) is actually stronger to the opening. Thrives on rides with high segment counts where rivals are already fading. The aerobic base is the asset β protect it.
π―
Development Area
Peak power and short-burst acceleration. The punch/threshold gap (top 57% vs top 51%) shows where the ceiling is on explosive efforts. Sprint intervals and over-under VO2max work would add a new gear without eroding the aerobic base. The diesel engine is built β adding a turbo is the next step.
π
The Real Enemy
Absolute peak power output, not endurance. The engine runs clean all day but the rev ceiling is the constraint. Watts from early to late: 430W β 336W (-22%) β barely any drop, which is the signature. The rival who fades less than everyone else still loses to a rider who never needed to fade. One note: Ride 09 looks like a major outlier β averaging top 80% vs your season norm of top 54%. A single bad day (mechanical, illness, off route) is pulling down the headline numbers.
