Thought this was pretty interesting from VeloNews for the power hounds out there:

Simon Gerrans’ Milan-San Remo power meter data GreenEdge and SRM released Simon Gerrans’ complete power file from Milan-San Remo, offering a very rare insight into what it takes to win one of cycling’s monuments.

A few highlights include a stint at 1,188 watts to stay with Fabian Cancellara and Vincenzo Nibali up the Poggio, 400 watts over the final 2km (even behind Cancellara, who was likely doing 550 watts or more), followed by a 1,300-watt sprint at 60kph after 300km to take the win. No problem, right?

And he only weighs 64kg so scale accordingly for comparison...... Yikes.

1300 watts? He'd barely win the FMR sprint with that.
