It's supposedly at LT, but I don't think it possibly can be... (or the data is old and in general racing is faster these days?) Mine figures out to be about 3.5 and I'm a relatively lowly cat 3, faster than the 4's but not as quick as the 2's. Of course I'm quite small and light too - so my actual power is pretty puny.... I get murdered on flat TT courses where it matters more.

Of course again, its not the whole picture either, as with any measures. Good on paper/ good by one measure doesn't create the whole package. You need power, good VO2, endurance, smarts etc, etc... To be really good you need all the elements.
