What the Data Suggests
💪
Strengths to Protect
Remarkable consistency — no single segment type is a weakness. Consistent across all segment types with less than 5 percentile points separating any category. That adaptability is rare: most riders have a clear Achilles heel that good routes can exploit. Best gradient: wall-steep (>13%) at top 46%.
🎯
Development Area
The ceiling: zero top-10 finishes across 209 segments means the absolute power level — not the profile mix — is where gains come from. Best result is top 34% of the field. Targeted VO2max intervals (short, very high intensity) would shift the absolute power ceiling and convert that consistency into podium finishes.
📊
The Real Enemy
Absolute power, not profile. The data shows manageable fatigue. The consistency is the foundation. The gap to the front isn't about endurance or the wrong segment type — it's about the power number itself. That's the most direct lever.
