FTP, VO2max and heart rate
Published figures only. A model of race climbs or a reading of training uploads is an estimate, not a lab test, and is labelled so.
| Metric | Value | Type | Based on | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart rate on a climb | avg 188 / peak 197 bpm | His data | Mont Ventoux, Tour de la Provence 2020 · 30:18 climb effort | Cycling Weekly, 17 February 2020 |
Climbs and power
One row per effort. Where several sources give the same effort, a study comes first, then the rider's own file, then a named analyst, then the press. Analysts estimate power from time, length, gradient and an assumed weight: those are not power files.
