Episode notes
Early Tour Predictions Validated The Model
- Ryan built the first Best Bike Split model during a few weeks off in summer 2013 while his son was being born.
- His early Tour de France time-trial predictions matched rider times within seconds and validated the approach.
Normalized Power Drives Stable Pacing
- Using normalized power as a modeling target naturally keeps variability low and yields sensible pacing.
- The math tends to regulate average power to keep VI near 1.05 without forcing it explicitly.
Don't Start Too Hot After The Swim
- Avoid the common race-day mistake of going out too hard, especially after the swim.
- Adopt a pre-defined power plan and stick to it to preserve legs for the run.
