I guess but different people are different and I think are efficient at different cadences. Trying to address which cadences you are most efficient at is a different story. There are also different issues in racing where different cadences are advantageous or not, such as crit racing vs a TT. I spent years trying to increase my cadence, but I don't think that was the right thing to do in retrospect.
