Max watts

[10speedsemiracer]

I heard Manon from GCN say she can put out 1000W. Wow. (She's hot by the way.....) haha

What's the max watts you've heard of a man putting out in track cycling?

Is this appropriate or even relevant ?

No.

I googled wattages for interest, seeing as Manon is a former track star as well as roadie, and found the following:

When pedalling at 115-130rpm, world-class sprint track cyclists can produce incredible levels of power: more than 2,200 watts for men and more than 1,400 watts for women.

The average guy can put out maybe about 600W in the max effort for a few seconds whereas the best (road) sprinters like Peter Sagan can go beyond 1500W when they’re close to the finish line.

Whereas an average cyclist can produce 100 watts, a pro road cyclist can average 400 watts over the final hour of a Tour de France stage

On one of the NRS tours I went on with the Australian Cycling Academy, Sam Welsford had a little warm up before the first stage (a crit) started, on the road outside the motel and hit 1600 watts. Im sure thats probably on the lower end of what he could do in a race situation.

I watch some of the Legion of LA videos on YouTube. Watching those guys hit 2000W+ is pretty amazing. I'm a pretty bad sprinter and my highest is about 900W for 5 seconds.

Someone I ride with can dish out 1500w+ when he wants to. I can tell you it isn't nice being on the receiving end of that. Nor having to try and stay with him on the flat. Uphill on the other hand.

My best was 1240w some years ago, at about 60kg weight. These days it is less because I don't care about sprinting.

It's very impressive to see the track sprinters what they can do.

I wish I could say that I was good going uphill, but I'm average at that too. I can climb at 4W per kg for 10 minutes. That's my PB, and I did that just last week. So...lots of things to work on

I've been with Tiffany Cromwell on Zwift and seen her smashing the watts as well in a sprint.

My going uphill decent is light weight but I've been working hard at improving it. That's about doing lots of riding up hills in Zwift because you can do that without interruption and for me, I don't have to ride half-way across the city in heavy traffic on busy roads to get to the hills. Ventoux in Zwift works best because it is pretty steep and long. There aren't easy flat hairpin bends, it's just relentless.
