As far as I have read, there's nothing particularly suspicious about the data?

One bit I read is that the power jumped up massively (~600W to ~1000W) with seemingly no increase in HR. But, as @andyp says, both the power or HR data could easily be modified to make it say anything you like.

Certainly the power output is innocuous, 388 watts, 5.9w/kg (not that I understand those numbers, just that is within acceptable parameters).

Assuming that's FTP then 5.9W/kg puts him, unsurprisingly, in the "World Class" bracket:-

So the only suspicious thing is the heart rate? I've read that it moves from 155 to 162, which is considered low, but plenty of people lining up saying there's nothing that wrong with it either. I am confuse.
