I remember going up a longish climb at around FTP (around 300 watts) and Lael came by me like I was f^cking standing still. Being somewhat math nerdy, I then quickly calculated that she had the W/Kg of an elite rider. This was 2016.
A top rider can thrash most of us on an old schwinn with the wrong tires.
