- andix 2y agoThis seems hard to do in my opinion. There are a lot of hard to predict factors, like aerodynamics (riding behind another rider takes much less power) and wind. Also the speed and power measurements are usually not extremely precise. There is a few percent of tolerance in most standard equipment. Exact GPS speeds are really hard to measure during cornering or in areas with limited visibility to the sky.
- klyrs 2y agoSo we need a power meter at the pedal and a power meter at the tire/road interface. And of course, you don't expect those values to agree due to mechanical inefficiency. Which means that even with that level of scrutiny, there's a few percentage points of overhead for your motor-dopers to play in.
