When I had my VO2 test a few weeks ago I maxed out at 192bpm.
My recovery at 1 minute was down to 129 bpm, or about 63 bpm. The doc administering my test told me that athletes should recover at 45 bpm or more.

I ride an ergo session every 2 weeks and measure my HR zones with the coach and it measures every zone and power and all that, i was asking him about the drop off and he concurs with the ave athlete dropping off at 45bpm. i can loose 70bpm in 1 min. however as a guage, guy leech a famous "surf iron-man' and former holder of the "fittest man in the world" title dropped from 200 to 110 in about 45 sec during a race so there is something to aim for!!
dont get bitter, get better
My understanding is that how quickly your HR recovers is an indication of fitness. But don't know how to judge that.
The other morning after a warmup - I was doing run repeats of 6 minutes at a HR of a high Zone 3 - which for me was around 162 - 164. Then after each 6 minutes I was to walk for 2 minutes. I noticed that my HR dropped 15 bpm after about 25-30 seconds, after another 30 seconds it dropped another 30 bpm - typically then after a minute I was down to 120 or slightly under - my HR would continue to come down over the next minute, but more slowly - maybe another 10 bpm or so. This was pretty consistant. I have no idea if this is good, average or poor. ???
So, I was curious how others HR recovered.
