What the Data Suggests
💪
Strengths to Protect
Gradient is your friend — performance holds or improves on steeper pitches. Best on wall-steep segments. The climbing economy (power-to-weight expression) is the weapon. Protect body weight and VO2max work.
🎯
Development Area
Flat and rolling segments are the weak spot — 6 percentile points behind best-gradient performance. Not about becoming a sprinter, but reducing the gap on terrain where others are pulling away. Cadence work, aero position, and short flat intervals would help neutralize the disadvantage.
📊
The Real Enemy
Flat terrain and short punchy efforts where raw speed matters more than W/kg. Watts on short efforts: 514W — the absolute number may be competitive, but the expression on non-climbing terrain is not translating. One note: Ride 17 looks like a major outlier — averaging top 52% vs your season norm of top 20%. A single bad day (mechanical, illness, off route) is pulling down the headline numbers.
