Interesting, the efficiency curve is fairly smooth. Once you're near the peak you won't be too far off the exact maximum. Some of those guys are turning 95rpm. I dunno if they are mashing it a bit more only because it's for 1 hour or their biomechanics(crank arms for one are different) are a bit different.
