- Last flat Sprinter's stage for several days.
- It is clear from the data that the goal was to set Cavendish up for a Stage win, unfortunately it was also a crash marred stage that left Cavendish out of contention for the victory.
- First half vs Second half of race comparison - First half: 110 TSS, 225 Average Watts, 282 NP, 38.3 km/h Average Speed. Second half: 162 TSS, 271 Average Watts, 341 NP, 47.9 km/hr Average Speed
- Really interesting to see this file vs. the day before. Today, Bernie had some leeway and went for a top placing in the finish for himself as Mark Cavendish was in a crash near the end of the stage. In the previous day, Bernie's Peak 30 seconds Power (when leading out Cavendish for the sprint finish) was 844W. Today, when he was riding for himself he did only 796W. This is a great example of how Bernie is a perfect lead-out man for Mark. He actually pushes himself HARDER when he is riding for Cavendish than when he rides for himself!

Glossary
TSS
TrainingPeaks' Training Stress Score (TSS) system allows any endurance athlete the ability to quantify their workouts based on their relative intensity, duration and frequency of workouts.
Normalized Power
Normalized power provides a better measure of the true physiological demands of a given training session - in essence, it is an estimate of the power that you could have maintained for the same physiological "cost" if your power output had been perfectly constant (e.g., as on a stationary cycle ergometer), rather than variable.
Intensity Factor
Intensity Factor provides a valid and convenient way of comparing the relative intensity of a training session or race either within or between riders, taking into account changes or differences in threshold power.
w/kg
Watts per kilogram is the standard measurement of a rider's "power to weight ratio" and represents a rider's average power output over a period of time, divided by the rider's body weight. w/kg equalizes power output between riders of various sizes and, all else being equal, increasing power (watts) or decreasing weight (kg) will make a rider faster.
