User power profile compared against top rider

At the moment, Intervals.icu provides a user Power Profile relative to other users with same sex and age.

A nice addition would be a comparison against world top riders, such as About | Power Speed Profile. They also provide workout test protocols to download.
They provide a power profile calculator on their website. I am not sure if the references (below) provide necessary information to incorporate the mathematical model in Intervals.icu.

It is very nice but also frustrating since it doesnt consider age :frowning:

There are many algorithms for checking performance, but the problem is that the platform cannot incorporate all of them because it would be chaotic. Everything is based on the critical power model, so variations will be minimal. If you want to work with these zones, you can run the tests and create custom zones as suggested in that paper, but honestly, I don’t think it’s feasible to incorporate so many performance calculation algorithms.
