Josep and the whole Predictor-Lotto team had a great team time trial yesterday in Italy at the Coppi-Bartali stage race. As usual, Josep downloaded his data by using WKO+ immediately after the stage and synchronized the data to his TrainingPeaks account when he got back to his hotel room. The system is working like a charm and team physician Dr De Neve can have access to all of the race and training data even when he isn't travelling with the team.
Here is a screen shot of Josep's WKO+ file from the afternoon team time trial stage. This shows his heart rate and speed. He averaged 164bpm for 13:31 and hit a max of 171bpm.
In the morning the teams raced 95kms in 2:12. Josep placed 29th just 41 seconds down from the two-man breakaway. His stats for the morning stage were:
2:13; 95kms
1874 kj
139 TSS points (.79 intensity factor)
301 noemalized power
234 avg watts
993 max watts
135 avg HR
166 Max HR
89 avg rpm
Look for more from the team possibly later ion the week as this race ends Saturday. The next race we hope to get data from will be the Tour of Georgia.
