The weights are included only when you work out that relative power output (the 5.8 W/kg, for example). For the power output, it's actually a direct measurement, using SRM devices on the bike, so no calculation is needed. The relative power, as mentioned, is calculated using rider mass. Most are between 60 and 70kg. The guys I used in the presentation were 63 and 64 kg, respectively. Armstrong raced at 70 to 72kg (reportedly). Heaviest guys are in the upper 70s, low 80, but average around 65

You included de bike weight in your watts calculation? How much these cyclers weight have? AMAZING VIDEO! thanks!
