I took note that Elia Viviani (Liquigas-Cannondale) said he peaked at 1390 watts in the 250m bunch sprint to win the 1st stage yesterday at Giro della Provincia di Reggio Calabria. The stage, from Melito Porto Salvo to Chiaravalle Centrale was 170.2km in length. Finishing 2nd and 3rd in the stage were Daniele Colli (Team Type 1-Sanofi) and Elia Favilli (Farnese Vini-Selle Italia).
That's a lot of watts. Anyone with more watts stats for pro cyclists?
