Gilbert 2012 world champion

[weisan]

Anyone know how much wattage Gilbert was putting out when he distanced himself from the front of the pack on the penultimate climb?

He didnt have a PM on that day (despite presence of the SRM PC7). Besides, he rarely share those details anyway.

sorry, kidding! he sometimes rides with a PM, but he's never really embraced training with power.

Then, good on him twice!

Pretty epic. Thanks for reminding us!

This is actually legit easy to figure out.

1) Find a hill which mimics the profile of the hill he escaped on.
2) Warmed up but fresh, ride up it as hard as you can.
3) Determine wattage.
4) Double that number.
5) For good measure, lose 40 lbs.
