Ahh, the 1:20. I wonder how
fastslow I could climb that now?I remember when Trent Lowe smashed up there in 12:something and Cadel is supposed to have done 10 but I find that hard to believe (According to our rough calculations, a time of 12 minutes would require a 60kg rider to average somewhere in the vicinity of 470W and 34km/h, assuming there’s no wind and the attempt was done on the hoods of a 7kg bike. According to this chart, that sort of power-to-weight ratio (7.8W/kg) is a little more than what the best riders in the world can hold for five minutes, let alone 12 minutes.).

Here's a 17 yo doing 432 watts @ 6.5 w/kg for 13 minutes
