Fabian Cancellara confesses to his best-ever power numbers 

I'm really impressed by his attitude. He cares about other people and the spirit of cycling. More power to him

My 1 min numbers barely beat his 70min tt. Thats insane.

That is a really nice interview. Fabian is really grounded; must be great to ride for/with him. Well done, Cam! Looking forward to more of this. Cheers, Chrissi 😃

Oh Cam this was one of your best videos ever its honest factual and its warm not just numbers but people loved the video Man and increased my respect for you and RCA your a breath of fresh air in the world of cycling Thank you.

Great video Cam. The numbers those riders do are nuts. Fabian is one of a kind!

hats off to Cam for doing this interview, impressive numbers but even more impressive athlete, Fabian was and still is a exceptional individual, love what he does for sport today

Always been an idol of mine and this just cements that, what a bloke. Anyone coming through the Tudor system has an advantage with a guy like him at the helm.

Great interview! Cancellera seems very balanced and on a nice track.

I met this guy at a race he held. I was totally starstruck when he came up to me and gave me an advice I will always remember: "You need to wash your bike" 🙂

absolutely savage numbers, plus they were in a tt position, which makes it even more impressive

Fantastic interview Cam, it was great to hear Fabian talk about the human side of nurturing & protecting his young rides in a sport that is unfortunately full of elitism 👍

Fabian sounds like such an awesome dude. Great interview. Really nice to listen to Fabian.

Wow! Big interview. Good for you, Cam. I met him right after he retired. Super nice guy.

Wow, he’s very articulate and well spoken.

Loved this interview. Humble. Down to earth . In my head someone I could connect with

Good insights. One of the greatest natural riders ever. Right up there with Luigi.

Such a legend. Thanks for the interview

Cam, you really seem to have a knack for finding "good bloke"s to interview and really drawing out their goodness on camera in your interviews. I absolutely love it.

Great interview, Cam! Enjoyed it immensely!

Really puts things into perspective, great video!

Great content. ❤ I’ve always has been a huge fan of Cancellara and what he is actually doing with the team is great. You can’t love this guy. Spartacus4ever❤

Absolute class. Thanks, Cam!

Very nice video, with a great message. Thank you Cam! 😁

Great interview with our swiss legend Cancellara 😃👍

Amazing! What a mindset he's got and his power numbers are just mindblowing!

This was an amazing interview!

Wow, what a great human to listen to. Loved his bit about the human side. I wish he was still racing, so I could be a fan! Quality interview, thanks.

Awesome interview, cheers Cam!

Such a nice guy and I'm glad he formed Tudor, they've had some fantastic results this season and especially the fact they ride BMC bikes ❤

What a wonderful human being. Incredible model to follow.

Great that you put the headline moment at the start, rather than making us watch waiting to hear the bit we clicked for. Still watched the rest of the video, just enjoying rather than waiting

Sensational interview Cam 🤙🙌

Good Lord his numbers are absolutely 🤯🤯 especially put in perspective! Great interview altogether! AND still so strong!Delighted his still involved in cycling!!

Great interview, Cam! Insane numbers, but alongside an interesting story.

Fabulous Fabian. For number considerations, look at the difference b/w Cam’s upper body vs Fabian’s pics at his peak. Similar overall weight but Fabian (and most Pro’s) are wafer thin up top (whereas Cam has more musculature). The Pro’s power is in their core and legs and that weight discrepancy up top makes a huge difference on output (because their weight is in the musculature of the legs, not on the rest of the ‘vehicle’ they are moving).

Biggest surprise, he's just such a nice guy and well spoken. Huge respect.

You've outdone yourself with this interview Cam 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

What a nice guy! What a nice interview!

I subbed, and clicked the Bell icon after this. Great work!

No the cancellera confession i was hoping for 😂

Great video Cam, he seems like a top bloke!

Twice the power I ever produced. Fabian is a great person and is very humble.

Many wise words were spoken… great interaction …thanks

You have talked to guy that I really like about by only having information for him from races and media. Thanks.

Old mate makes an appearance - always appreciated!! :)

of course i always knew that professional riders were way stronger than me, but getting my first powermeter last christmas really gave me a reality check on how absolutely insane their numbers are. For friends who have no reference i always compare to a sled-push and tell them to double their weight, double their speed and do it for 60min non-stop

Bonkers! -- Fabian is a beast and one of the most stand-up guys ever in the pro peleton. 88 wins in ITT and Classics?...bwoooohaaaaaa!..that´s an amazing lifetime achievement. Those kids are lucky to have such a great mentor and "life coach".

Thanks for the video Cam that’s my favorite rider

He’s an interesting man and you asked some good questions!

Wow great content cam

What a fantastic interview. Keep up the great work

What a fantastic leader and human being. I would follow him.

Seems like a nice guy. Questions from subscribers would have also been great. E.g. "Tom B. from Belgium wants to know how you prepared for the Classics season in 2010?" 🤔

Good one Cam!

What an incredible athlete and an incredible person. I'll never forget watching him suffer up the Rock Store climb up on Mullholland during TOC many years ago.

Can't help but feel happy for someone achieving what he has. The 1 hour record in a velodrome is also at just over 400W. I often think about this when I manage to hold it for a few minutes :). And what a great attitude he has towards promoting cycling, and a positive cycling mentality.

It is so true what he said about numbers and cycling. We need the human side to support athletes

Fabian is a true legend and a great role model ✊🏾👍🏾

Here it is. How cool mate. This would have been incredible.

I can't do 450 watts for TWO minutes! Affordable power meters weren't available in my 20's and 30's. I don't think I could've did over 400 watts very long back then either.

As a rec rider with an FTP around 230W, his numbers are beyond my capacity to comprehend. I had a ride recently with another guy whose FTP was 350-360, and whenever we hit a short punchy climb, he would leave me in the dust (even with me standing on my pedals and him remaining seated). Just really really impressive.

I love Fabians vision for the Tudor team, it really seems spot on. Thanks to his great experience and humbleness. 450 for an hour and seven minuets though! Ouch!

Beast mode. Savage effort.

One great video 💪💪

Do more interviews like this please,

I was really pleased when he finished on a high at the Olympics....just as he's saying that in this video you see Tom Dumoulin who sadly wasn't able to retire in the best of circumstances, but he will always be a hero to me.

Talking about how the last are role models because they have stories is my favourite perspective in ultra distance sports. You never remember races that went well, but always the ones you suffered or helped others. Now I might have to head over to Switzerland for a race

Crazy is what 450 watts is for an hour. Most people can't do 200 watts for an hour.

Pros are on another world! Nice guy.

Watts depend on the bike he uses, lol. Holds the record for bike swaps in a single race (E3 Harelbeke, 5 times, flat race btw) without having a flat or mechanic issues. Intensive scanning for motors started after his era.

What a great guy! 👏👏👏

Loved it!

holy shit Fabian is such a great personality

Cancellara will be remembered for the most iconic attacks in the history of pro cycling. He could use the motor controversy to his advantage. It's a compliment, really. I'd love to hear him give a commentary about dropping Boonen on the Muur at the 2010 Tour of Flanders. It's the best attack ever, I mean absolutely legendary. To not speak about it is a huge wasted opportunity. That is what true cycling fans devoted to this beautiful sport want to know.

"The Motor" misses the human side. Heheh. Fantastic interview

Awesome athlete and person. I met this dude in Bern.

My favorite rider ever, miss him in the peloton

Brilliant video i was more impressed by the man than numbers 👍

And how much watts motor included in the Ronde ?

Geezus… those numbers… when someone says they’re levels, they aren’t kidding… damn… imma go have a drink…. 😂🥃

Great interview👍 What a nice bloke, and as for those numbers - WTAF! For a laugh we should have changed his nickname from 'Spartacus' to 'The Motor'. Also, let's get him out of retirement for a spring classic or two - 1300W sprint after 7yrs retired 😮

One of my all time fravorits

Great interview. What a great individual Cancellara is, very humble and really respectful and appreciative of ordinary Z2 riders the elite sport is built upon. Thumbs up to old mate also. 🤪👍

This was neat. I didn't quite catch where the interview took place?

''When you retire as an athlete, it's (about) to find a new identity.'' Smart and humble, what a man.

That's ma boy! 💪 If he was training these days his power numbers would be higher.

Gr8 Rider Fabain . 450 watts for 72 minutes. Wow. What a nice fella he is . I am 65 yrs old & dont ride 2 much due 2 Concussion Headaches & Migraines 24/7. 180 watts for 1 hr & 191 watts for 15 minutes. Only on the bike for 2/3 times a week.

Cracking to see Shouty Hat Dude making an appearance.

hes still my favorite classics guys... he was such a beast. the way he would ride people off his wheel at places like Paris Roubaix was mind-blowing. watching 10 guys thinking they would tag along when he attacked and then watch them flail in the air and drop back on e by one. lol!

Love this…

Great bloke

Great interview , he's a real legend of the sport 👍

What a champ. More than just a bike rider

I think he is being modest. There is a quote attributed to Geraint Thomas where he was sprinting out of the saddle in Flanders following Cancellara's wheel at 800W+ and Cance was still riding away from them all. When he says 600W average on a climb he doesn't mean in the zone it probably starts with a seated effort of 1000-1200W. Here is a once in a generation type of rider. You have to had seen a race in it's entirety to see what a huge Cancellara shaped hole the peloton has today. I miss him :)

What a super cool dude

Fabian is by far the most powerful, best tt specialist and classic rider of 21st century rider and all time

Classic legend the 🐐

Spatacus! My all time TT favourite rider!

Nice to see that ex-pro Fabian is still in “fighting shape”!

That's a LOT of power. What about now, apart from his sprinting numbers. Is it 20% less?
