From the time trial on stage 4, the public can view Millar\’s file, which showed that he produced a power output of approximately 5.4 watts per kg. He placed third on the stage. This power is impressive but certainly doesn\’t break any physiological records; it\’s about what you\’d expect from a clean rider in peak form in the first week of the Tour.
That\’s umm, pretty fit.
So what we need is a quick calculation how many Tour de France riders we need to replace all our coal-fired power stations and Tony Juniper will be happy!
As long as the cost of EPO is lower than coal of course.
