In the absence of any clear, relevant data, we have to fall back on our own, personal observations.
Nope.... Bad data is bad data.
And also assume that at some point in their careers, Pruitt and/or Burke have done lab tests involving sprints, even if they haven't published the data.
I would like to see the full context of those remarks. Its difficult to imagine they would be including sprints and steep climbs in that.

I've seen that before, and I agree that these studies prove them wrong when it comes to cruising on a bike.
I'm glad we can agree on something.
