I had the wrong year before. At 35 seconds or so they do a slower-mo, from the front shot. Pretty incredible how he can put down massive power on a wet road, throw the bike, and stay upright.

I haven't really experienced a rear wheel hop in sprints so I don't have advice on that.

I usually lift my front wheel when I'm going hard, planting it on each down stroke, one side then another, left, right, left, right, like a slalom skiier.

I know the blog is hard to search (heck I can't find my own posts in it without going into my own dashboard) but there are bits on max rpm, max optimum sprint speed.

I think my posts are more about "if you do the stuff enough you'll get rid of bad habits". I know that I used to bounce a lot, but to increase my max rpm I had to learn instinctively to stop the bounce. Now I don't bounce, it's like my hips are bolted to the frame. They remind me of my violin practice drills, things that focused on one particular aspect of playing violin, like bow pressure, changing strings, finger dexterity, tone, intonation, etc.

*edit* those violin practice stuff didn't make me play music better at that moment. But later they really helped. For violin it's all about form and intonation, without both you're limiting yourself. With cycling it's about form and tactics; optimize both and you're good to go. Well those and fitness I guess. And your parents' genetics. Genetics limits violin too - ironically for me it was the speedwork that I just could not conquer. I'm not very coordinated nor do I have good balance. Therefore I'm a cyclist
