380 Watts for almost 54 minutes, damn. Tomorrow I'm gonna put my indoor bike on 380 Watts and see how long it takes before I'm as close to dead as I can be without actually dying

'Another one' 

 

The first gold and after Vos' silver the 2nd and 3rd medal, the horror!

Jos van Emden in the nude tomorrow.

 

 

 

His suitcase didn't arrive, and so he had no clothes. Luckily Ellen van Dijk is....big, and had an extra suit, so Van Emden rode today's time trial in the spare suit of the women's champion.

How do you plan to determine that? You can only find your limit by actually dying, maybe you could tell someone to stand nearby with a defibrillator ... ?

Good result for young Maximilian Schachmann, i know that the other guys werent elite, but i think the 2 guys ahead of him are top 10-15 in the world?

Campenaerts (on a good day) and Castroviejo are definitely among the 10 best time trial riders in the world, yes.

Record it with a video camera, go until I pass out, consider that close enough to dying, play back the video when I'm back among the living. Easy.
