I recently did a dead flat Strava segment at 285w, decent 8-10 MPH tailwind and only managed around 24 MPH. About 3 mph slow…
On top of body aerodynamics, wheels and tires can affect this data. Upgrading to CF deep wheels and GP5000’s gave me over 1 mph extra over the crap stock stuff that came with my bike.
For reference, I recently completed a one mile-ish segment at an average of 22.2 mph with some kind of tailwind and “only” averaged 160 watts.
With an additional 125 watts at my disposal, I’d likely be averaging 26-27 mph with a similar tailwind…I suspect.
