Minus 20 Watt , Nibali deflated.

Exceptional toughness necessary to be a champion cycling event like the Vuelta a Espana .
Laden racing in the torturous climb , against the world's best rider , a rider must have tremendous power to be able to secure the maillot rojo ( red jersey ) as a sign of overall winner.
Astana team has its own calculations associated with the power needed for championship riders in the Vuelta .
Vincenzo Nibali turns out the team from Kazakhstan 's flagship assessed did not have enough power to be a champion .
Yesterday ( 13/9 ) Nibali displaced from the top of the standings . Not surprising because at some earlier stage lead continued to erode .
Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello sport , Astana manager Giuseppe Martinelli acknowledged that Nibali lost power ( watts output ) to 20 watts from the Giro d' Italia .
Yet according to him to devour climbs like in Vuelta and Giro , it takes at least 360 watts of power , with no maximum power ( 340 watts ) , Nibali vulnerable overtaken in the ramp stage . Absent in the Tour de France in order to restore power after the Giro did not quite make Nibali really powerful to perform at the Vuelta .
" It may sound too scientific , but that's the situation . If a driver can exert about 360 watts when the incline , your opponent can only attack 1-2 kilometers , about 50 seconds , " he described .
Martinelli actually do not like doing calculations watt output to calculate the probability of a champion racer , but would not want it to be done due to very high accuracy .
" I hope this is not the future of cycling , because all would be too easy . We just sit at the computer and programmed it , " he said as quoted by Velonews .
Measurement of power in world cycling is done with a series of tools called cycling power meters . Various tools used . The amount of power can be known racer of data drawn from a number of samples in bicycle parts such as chains or crankset .
Power is channeled to the pedal racer will be displayed in a small screen cyclocomputer usually attached to the handlebar .
Nibali use cycling SRM power meter types . Such tools take samples of the output wattage crankset is connected through a cable .
From there Nibali knows he lost power to 20 watts in the Vuelta .
" Roughly around 15-20 watts . " said the Italian.
