Professional road cyclists are good, but how good? As amateurs it’s hard to tell just how we measure up to our heroes like the great Eddy Merckx. However there are certain challenges we can take on to help show us just how far away from greatness we are! Bradley Wiggins’ hour record was estimated to require an average power of 440 Watts, so we set out to see how long a novice, an amateur and a current pro could maintain this for!
