pretty much. As your left leg passes the 6 o'clock position it is basically being driven up and around by your right leg that is know it's power position........as your left leg passes over the top it is now in its power production phase and the right leg gets its free ride.
For the folks who do not believe this go out side and go for a ride but don't push down at all, just pull up on your pedals and see how fast you can go
