Knowing where you stand should not be a luxury
A performance diagnostic in Switzerland starts at Fr. 200.–. So most riders do one, once, and plenty never do one at all. But a test is worth only half as much if you never repeat it: what changes your training is not the number itself, it is the gap to the last one.
Test, train, test again
That is where we come in. Our test costs a fraction of a lab's, so that repeating it every eight weeks is something you just do. Test, train, test again, see the progress, adjust.
Until now that loop belonged to professionals, the riders who go into a lab several times a season. We think anyone who trains seriously deserves to work from real numbers instead of guessing.
Where every number comes from
So that the numbers are worth trusting, we put everything on the table. Every value in the report says how it came about: measured, modelled, estimated or assumed.
The models behind them come from peer-reviewed research, and the science page also sets out where they stop working. A number without an origin is a horoscope, and you will never get one of those from us.
Who is behind it
Three school friends from Switzerland. Names and faces are on the team page.
The honest version is on the science page
Principles are cheap. The science page has the studies, the formulas and the limits, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
