On the flat stretch after the climbs, Toto Commesso spent an average of 260 Watts over 2 hours, which gave him an average speed of 47 km/h in the 7 man group! This demonstrates how the pros are aerodynamically well positioned on their bikes. Peaks in the power output represent the climbs. The data demonstrates how the topography dictates the effort. Also, the next few climbs required quite an effort.

With an average power output of an amazing 416 Watts, Commesso stormed ahead on the first climb (Dobel) in just 12 minutes – from zero to full power in no time. Initially, numerous solo attempts to escape were made, until a group of 7 riders was able to get away, managing to stay ahead until the last climb of the day when the GC leaders reeled them back. Redline start: After just 17 Kilometers, the first serious climb began and Salvatore Commesso wanted to be part of the challengers. Tour de France 2005 - A hard day at work trying to stay ahead. Commesso stays concentrated in the second part of the climb investing 800 W, which keeps in contact with the lead group with Ullrich and Rebellin. Allen Davies ist the only one that manages to spend his energy equally and finishes the race third. Possibly the sprinters focused too much energy on surviving the first part of the climb. It is here where the sprinters, such as Erik Zabel and O'Grady looses contact. In the second, shorter climb followed by a short descent (speed peak after the marked section) the riders that make the leading group shakes out. Salvatore is producing 537 Watts for the one minute of the climb. The heart of the climb can be seen by the speed dropping to 15 km/h again marked by the two black lines. After the last turn into the climb the power output is surging again impressively. The 900 Watt Peak before minute one is the acceleration before the second before last turn which Commesso used to get himself into position. The selection starts with the end of the descent that gets to the foot of the Waseberg. This extract of the data above, shows the last transition at the Waseberg climb. An indication for the smart allocation of resources from Commesso and a further proof that bike races are not won by the highest energy expenditure but by smart tactics. Both were holding back in the last kilometers while Fassa Bortolo, with 4(!) riders seemed a little lost keeping the tempo up, but they saved what resulted to be the decisive energy.Ĭommesso's team mate Enrico Franzoi, who missed the last group ride, averaged a higher energy expenditure then his more experienced colleague. Filippo Pozzato won in front of his team mate from Quick Step Luca Paolini. In the sprint of 15 remaining riders he finished sixth, Ullrich last. The last ride over the Waseberg made the decisive selection (as expected) and Commesso was alert and part of the right group. Ludewig and Leif Hoste got pulled back real fast in the last phase of the race. During the last 70k Commesso produced an average of 300 Watt (his average for the race: 200 Watt), which consist of many peaks in between 400 and 900 Watt. The real race started at the 180k mark, which is highlighted by the vertikal black lines marking an interval. As soon as they got caught again the pace settled to comfort level. It took them a little more then 30 minutes with a speed peak at 60 Km/h (see the peak on the pink graph). It was Team Gerolsteiner who took responsibility of reeling them in. It took almost two hours, Ludewig already gained 20 minutes, there was a speed surge, because a 28 man group got away and the peloton reacted. When Jörg Ludewig pedaled away, everyone relaxed and the speed settled cyclotourist pace. In the first hot phase - 20 minutes tempo after the first half hour into the race - Commesso was hiding in the peloton and limited his power output (green line). The graph of Salvatore Commesso's (Lampre Caffitta) tachometer, shows the virtue well. Who wants to be successful, needs patience to hold back until it really counts. Long races require a long lasting breath.
