What's the longest you can maintain...

...a TDF pace?

Has anyone tried it?

 

[vickster]

Until the descent flattens out

 

[mcshroom]

Sustain? Just to attain that sort of pace would probably need a downhill

 

[screenman]

What speed is it? If you are thinking about 24 mph then not as long as I used to be able to.

 

[Slioch]

With or without EPO?

Ages.


Assuming you mean the pace before the flag drops.....

 

[roadrash]

on the roll out they go faster than me

The only problem I find when riding at TDF pace on the roads round here is that people come out of their houses to throw a mug of piss in your face.

I'm assuming this is accurate

25-28mph on the flat
21-25mph on the mountains

Yeah, I was in France the other day and ordered a beer. They saw I was English and gave me a pint of Fosters. In disgust I threw it over my shoulder and think it may have hit a cyclist.....

Ages.

Dopeur!

 

[Drago]

About 0 seconds, which is longer than I can maintain an erection.

 

[bpsmith]

I struggle to get enough riders together for a proper Peloton, so can't comment on sustaining the pace in turns.

Could be worse - they could have given you Kronenbourg......
