What the Data Suggests
💪
Strengths to Protect
Remarkable consistency — no single segment type is a weakness. Top 89% late in rides vs top 96% early — you warm into efforts rather than fade. That adaptability is rare: most riders have a clear Achilles heel that good routes can exploit. Best gradient: wall-steep (>13%) at top 89%.
🎯
Development Area
The ceiling: zero top-10 finishes across 91 segments means the absolute power level — not the profile mix — is where gains come from. Best result is top 91% 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 no meaningful fatigue (221W early, 201W late). 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.
