My fastest flat ground sprint was about 36 mph. This is not very fast by sprinting standards, you need to be able to peak it close to 40 to win in the pro's.
My fastest flat ground sustained speed was 41 mph, drafting a dump truck.
My fastest downhill was 61 going down Crawford Notch in The White Mountains.
My fastest speed in a race happened twice, at 59 MPH. Once on the downhill section of The Mount Watchusett Road Race, and once on the downhill after Smugglers Notch in Stowe Vermont during the Stowe Road Race.
My fastest sustained race speed was an average of 29.75 mph at the pro/1/2/3 criterium in Exeter, NH.
My fastest TT speed was a measly 25.5 mph in a weekly timetrial in Concord MA.
I don't TT or sprint very well.

Racing: Finishing sprint peaked out at 1,250 watts with 38MPH
Downhill: 61.6MPH (Once I hit ~55 again I will feather my brakes next time) Very scary
Flat: Training endurance ride is about 23-24MPH AVG.
Flat Sprint work: Anywhere from 35-39 (Still trying to get stronger. Junior Gears don't help either. UGH!)

74 MPH, on a tandem, descending Mt Stroudsburg in the Poconos.
Stoker was screaming to slow down.

My top speed so far is 53mph, or 85kph to you. Once you get over 50 mph, it's very difficult to overcome wind resistance even with a good downhill.

My highest speed clocked was 42mph.
I'm not very big, 115 lbs, so it's hard for me to book it downhill, but when I got this speed, I was going downhill, and I was tucked in behind a big friend of mine, riding on his wheel.
