Do pro teams do 10 mile races then ?

Track teams do races under 10 mile, so if you can easily sit on 30 mph, and sprint at 45 mph you would dominate scratch and points categories assuming you can also TT it to bridge a gap or hold a breakaway.

At least one person isn't accusing me of being full of BS :smile:

Why would I. If you were posting fake time and speeds you would only be a fool to yourself.

I dont think its a case of proving these numbers to the forum, but about not misleading yourself if there is something off with your measurements.

There is massaging speed figures on a forum which isnt exactly unusual as alot of people do it and then there is claiming sprint speeds that are comparable to what the fastest riders in the world achieve on sprint finishes with lead out trains. It is faster than the speeds reached by the best sprinters in the world doing the kilo and comparable to what they can manage in a flying 200m. These speeds would be in a velodrome with a faster surface than road, skin suits, track bikes, aero helmets, aero wheels and no wind by guys that are specialist sprinters who put in very specific training to get to these speeds.

It is nothing personal - if Mark Cavendish, Tyler Farrar or Thor Hushovd were claiming to be able to match them in a solo sprint i'd be calling BS too!
