Also, it is generally known that the location in which you live plays a big part on your success in each category. You won't win cat4 races with anything less than a FTP of 4.0 during superweek, just like you would probably dominate most out of season cat4 races with a FTP of 3.5 and a good sprint in the midwest. Take those numbers to Cali and you might be lucky to hang on to a cat4 race.
On the other hand, some people will do better in different regions. Being relatively light and not having much of a sprint, I actually did a lot better in races after moving from the midwest to CO.

Out here you would do OK with an FTP of 4.0 W/kg...at 8500' elevation.
