Indeed.
Cheaper/easier for me is to use VDOT (from running) to get a pretty good estimate of VO2max (sadly mine is currently ~35 but if I lose the lard it should be up to a semi-respectable 45-49).
Dr Hutch has freaky VO2max, above the values of many/most TdF pros, but lacks other magic to make him be able to utilise it as well as the TdF pros:-
"
A thought, for those who feel a Froome VO2max test will clarify all. I had a VO2max of 90ml/min/kg in 2005 yet was still a v.ordinary rider.
