Imagine Pav’s clients were all scaled up to world tour level and in the Tour de France for Team Pav.
What type of rider would you be? Which stage would you target?
Pav: You are the DS. What would be your strategy to win a stage?

I leave it to my coach and DS to decide how I should best be used.

These days I’ve defiantly go a miss fire on the engine and mechanical failure in the body lol.
However I’d say not a pure climber but good diesel engine able to sit at a good tempo day after day. Possibly even a GC contender. That said I’ve nothing to compare myself with other than those in the club I ride with.

Awesome thread!! Although I’m not much of any specific type of rider. I like @Kicikacsa’s answer there.

No help from the car, I see. Doesn’t matter, I’m off with the breakaway anyway hoping to make it a sprint finish after a long day or even better ride away on cobbles or gravel. Apart from that, I’ll be a loyal domestique, pushing the wind for whoever goes for GC.

I think I am a fat, middle aged Mads Pederson. I can sprint and I can get over some of the lumpy stuff.
In my mind’s eye I am Tadej Pogacar. Cheeky, mercurial, can beat anyone on any given day.
When I was a kid my cycling club called me Big Mig.

I would be a time trial specialist, so totally focused on that and leading out man on other stages.

Pahahahahahahahaha!! I’m laughing with you, mine is very similar
Mine is the opposite but I am a shitty sprinter.
I’ve never really looked at mine till now. I’ll take that at the moment given I’ve not been able to ride much and nothing over an hour for over a year. Not sure how my 5s sprint can be that good given I can never seem to get the gear sorted.
mine would be a lot better if I wasn’t 20kg over weight and didn’t keep getting injured. This get’s me to a mid pack C-cat on Zwift.

Damn! I wonder how accurate and reflective this actually is?
which bit? The w/kg required to be competitive at various levels is a well accepted fact and commonly referenced.
