LOL, yup. Even on Armstrong's site they claim he peaks around 400 watts.

So I am guessing his wattage calculations are like his speed calculations, quadrupled. Because 10-12 kms/hr seems like a respectable average for that bike of his under straight human power. Also combustiblefuel, you 'steal' a car, you build a bike out of 'steel'. Might be an important detail to nail down as a budding welder/machinist. That type-o would look terrible on a quote.

Yeah, and I just noticed he even got his conversion from watts to HP wrong.
1600-1700 Watts = ~2.15 Hp, not 1.5 to 1.7
