Alex awesome as ever! Will sign up as patreon to support your clear, helpful and professional journey to help us cyclists to get better and remain and extend the fun-factors!

My 30 second power is "early national class" and my 1 minute power is "Cat 1/Neo-pro", but everything else is Cat 4/5.......not surprised since I don't have the burden of a superior cardiovascular system lol. Way back when I was 14 years old (46 years old now) and a bodyweight of 148 lbs and 5 feet 6 inches tall, I squatted 275 lbs for 6 reps and max deadlifted 315 lbs.....so power/strength was more my thing I guess. I really should get back to doing weights again as it would definitely improve my 20 minute power, as I suck at longer/harder efforts compared to the Cat 1/2 guys I ride with.

Was thinking around 70%, ended up 84.9!

I had a play with your rankme spreadsheet (nice work as always). The rankings come out a lot lower for me than the intervals.icu profile, but then their rankings are based on the ranking within the population using intervals.icu and have a finer grained age category.

The 4DP and phenotype is a very interesting thing to discuss. Also Xert has a similar methodology as well, baronbiosys.com/your-fitness-signature/ Their concept is quite interesting, it consist in your Max Peak Power, your FTP, and the Energy in Kilojoule that you have availiable at every given moment during an activity. Which I think is more inline with the concept of the 3 Energy systems and the % of fiber types your muscles have. So how much power you can produce and for how long, and how long it will take until you "recovery" from the effort" to repeat it again. So yeah, would be nice to bring those muscle fiber types, and energy system discussion in a future video, because when I see 1min and 5min bouts in the 4DP test, I have my questions why 5min bout, when the science refers to energy systems as phosphagen (ATP-PC), glycolytic, and oxidative that has an estimative duration of 10s, 1-3min and 30+min.

👏

Entered my data but getting lots of div by zero. Ranking comes out as bottom 1%. I haven't made a copy and I am a subscriber.

I fear the worst. My fears are justified. Of course there is also the issue of bike handling skills.

Love the concept Alex, I plugged my figures in but nothing changed in the Fft rider type, it said I was a sprinter but had no values attached to anything. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Would be nice to see a chart for Triathletes that ride a bike for 5 hours in a race

Seems like a good idea but the spreadsheet does not work for me - in whole Row 20 I can see "#Div/0!" error. I've made a copy, perhaps this is the reason. Edit: seems there is an error - instead of IMPORTRANGE from an external spreadsheet, it should be something like =round(G19/$I$12,1). Edit 2: but then, in Row 22 it's missing references to Tab 'Look10s' from (again external) Importrange_RiderRanking_v2. And here it's all you can do because it's not possible to copy from Importrange_RiderRanking_v2 🤨

None of the calculators align with Garmin insights data. Rankme, is saying I'm a non-rider/beginner and Garmin based on my actual power data is saying I have avg power greater than 50% of riders and ride faster than 62% of users.

Man, the Sheet is constantly changing. My percentiles keep shifting. Went from 20th percentile to 90th...then to 50th...and just now I'm at 99th! Seem like if you don't like your rating, just wait a minute lol :)

I am a 100

rankme isnt working? :(

first

Isn't working :(

Lol, got a 99.9, but still getting easily dropped by CAT1 racers

I got 1% non-cyclist across the board. I refuse to believe that an FTP of 310 at 76 kg ranks below almost the entire world that has even been on a bike.
