540 watts for 3:25 up the Pertus. 500 watts for 4:13 on the Col du Haag. Pogačar rides sweet spot with the group, then detonates the race with one VO2 / Zone 6 effort north of 8 W/kg. Now comes: the time trial, and two days up the Alpe d'Huez. We are predicting the winning power-to-weight ratios, including a 9.2 W/kg punch we're calling for Matthieu van der Poel (MvDP) up the cobbles of Montmartre. You can't do 9.2 W/kg and neither can we. But you can ride the final week the way the pros will: Time Trial Intervals and Alpe d'Huez ascents, scaled to your FTP and ready to ride today, free in CoachCat. Read the full power report, then go train the watts. |
