Markus from cyclefilm had a look at Cancellara’s SRM computer after yesterday’s race . Here’s what it takes to win The Tour of Flanders ;

Cancellara SRM data from #Flanders: Avg.Speed:40km/h –
Avg.Cad:73 –
Avg.HR:143 –
Avg.Power:285W
Max.Speed:80km/h –
Max.Cad:147 –

At 1450 Watts Tornado Tom was blown away !

    Doesn’t it say 145 not 1450?

      Hi Chris . The SRM only has 3 digits in that display . I guess they reckon once you go over 999 watts you won’t be doing too much looking at your computer 🙂

    But didn’t he change bikes ?

      Well spotted Derek . He had an SRM on both bikes so the max figures all happened after the bike change and the totals were an accumulation of both .

      I’d have trouble doing 17.5 mph on the flat some days . Just shows again what a motorbike Cancellara is !
