 What is the average speed of Ronda 2014 riders? According to the stage 6 video, the peloton was doing 47 kph, the breakaway was doing 55 kph(the TDF standard?) At sprint, the may be doing more than 60 (65)

I know Recyclists do more than 40. I can only at most for short burst do 35. But not 40. The Halimaw at Recyclists can do 40+ for long distances. Maybe a couple of years more we can do Ronda speeds?

I guess the competition with foreign riders has stretched the limits of Filipino riders. Before they could hardly keep up but now we are keeping on our own. We should be thankful to LBC for giving Filipino riders giving international exposure right at our own turf.

VM reported that at the mountains near Ternate, the foreign riders were seen climbing the hills at 30+ kph. (We could hardly manage 10 kph when we rode to Ternate hills)
