accelerating with the pure climbers is not necessary... if a rider is disciplined and does his own pace and accelerates sensibly he can bring back the more explosive climbers as they settle into their regular pace... look at Salvodelli at the Giro. if a guy that is not explosive tries to go with the explosive guys he will.. explode... Jan is not an explosive climber and he is never going to be one. he needs to ride his race, based on his abilities and the way HIS body can best achieve the required end result. Just because another rider can get up a hill best by spinning doesn't mean that is the best way for everyone in the world to get up a hill... everyone is built differently and what works for one does not work for all...
