Yeah, right? that is pretty fast! I'll see him tomorrow at the Saturday Sprints at the OTC so I'll ask him just to be sure. The juniors at the OTC practice cadence drills 2-3 days/week cause with their gear restrictions leg speed is all they have. At least that's what they tell me they're spinning when they beat me and I ask them about it. I'll try to get some video and post it, it's pretty wild to watch.
It's a guess but its pretty good one. The kid was 16 so he's on a 86" max? He rode a 12.2 f200 and I calculated his average cadence of 156 so I'd guess he hit the 200 line around 160? Then he came around me in a sprint and I was in a 104 at 61kkph spinning 125. This time of year I'm nowhere near riding my biggest gears so he might of been on something smaller?
