Period of peak performance

[Martinsnos]

What is the generally accepted period (in months) that a road pro can be at peak performance in a season?
So, accepting they may dip between events, from the first event where they are deemed competitive, how many months of events before they would be expected to have a total break (or they won’t be able to be competitive)?
Many thanks.

If you mean fitness then it generally just a few weeks they can maintain their peak power numbers. They generally put out their best numbers in January when fresh. In terms of racing instinct, much longer.

Many thanks for coming back. That January fact is very interesting.
