Reading about Contador's calculated VO2max being close to 100 made me wonder about the curve.

What is the typical VO2max for an average adult?

What is the typical VO2max for an elite athlete?

What is the typical VO2max for a Tour de France rider?

What are the known VO2max figures for outstanding Tour competitors? ( I read somewhere that Axel Merckx led the pack in that regard. )
