I think Lance might have had a high cadence in his prime. AC and AS are pretty lightweight riders and are natural climbers. I think they're cadence is more of a natural rate for them. They climb fast, but Lance used to look like he was in a spinning class or something. You don't see many riders with that high of a cadence.
Also, Carmichael can say all he wants. Turning a high cadence isn't difficult. Its the gear that your in that causes the problem. We'll see if Lance and get that high cadence like he used to have in the same gears. And for how long will he be able to keep it going.
