Off-Topic for 07/24/2009 – 02:10

Welcome to the Tue, 07/24/2009 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?

Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

The 99 VO2max calculation was flawed, it assumed 490 watts. Real wattage more like 420, I did a quick calculation using some baseless assumptions and got 436. Based on those wattages Contador’s performance is more reasonable. Still on the very high end of what’s possible, but at least it’s reasonable now. VO2max would be in the high 80’s.

Horner tells the truth. The newscaster kind of gets overexcited but is at least intellectually committed.
