That takes the ripping bars and dancing bike out of the equation! I'd understand that if you were doing it to get separation from a group for a break, but in a sprint?
All depends on the load on my pedals and my rpm - spin bike I have to sit down. On the road I do a mix - uphill I sprint standing as my rpm isn't as high. Hard to stay standing at 38+ mph and super high rpm.
I stand corrected - just went back and looked at some sprint pics from last year - I am back up the last 75 meters or so
