I'd like to see someone from the 33-racing forum take their actual data instantaneous velocity from several races, postulate an extra 3 pounds and apply the simple physics formula to calculate the extra energy that would be required at each data point. Then add those delta's to the actual power reading to see how the profile changes.

In other words, riding the same race the same way, but calculated with 3 pounds heavier, what does that do to the 1-sec power, 10 second and so on for that race? I wouldn't be surprised if it throws it off beyond the rider's ability at some point in the profile, and that would be significant.
