[MENTION=370963]Rider_1[/MENTION] that has been a sort of conventional wisdom (and Wikipedia agrees with you). Surely when you're more fit you'll work more and therefore sweat more.

But at some wattage where I'm resting now, sweat would have poured off of me when I was less fit.

Obligatory medical study: Large differences in peak oxygen uptake do not independently alter changes in core temperature and sweating during exercise.
