In Cav's book, he talks about being able to give a sort of double sprint for the line. Turn it on, then turn it on even harder. He also mentions how hard it was to get trainers and coaches to believe he was truly a sprinter. His wattage was low and his body style just didn't measure up, but obviously he is truly a sprinter!
I think I really marvel at the bike handling skills of the sprinters. Watching them come to the line at full effort can be both exciting and terrifying to watch at the same time. Watching some of Farrar's accidents last season was pretty scary. Alot of room for serious injury. Greipel's style appears to be the wildest to me, with elbows flying and bike almost violently swaying back and forth. Great stuff though...
