Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

towards better understanding of "hard" efforts

Here's Hunter Allen's discussion of Greg Henderson's winning efforts in AToC.

Of interest: the concepts of Training Stress Score and "matches." A TSS of 300 is a HARD ride. A "match" is an effort substantially above threshold for 1 to 30 minutes. Put those two together and you can begin to estimate how much a stage took out of a rider.

Phew

Impressive numbers!
Though 1193 watt in an all out sprint isn’t extremely high

Good enough for the win, apparently . . .

Yup, especially when you consider he went from 500 meters instead of the normal 200.

25 sec maximum effort

he didn’t pedal for 14.4% (47 minutes) of the time

Lazy!
But seriously, what an effort!

Marianne Vos tweets her collarbone x-ray!

She crashed yesterday in the Holland Hills Valkernberg Classic when a race moto got in her way (see more in the story) - but it's so very Vos-like to show us the result. Heal-fast, Marianne!
