Another step entirely, and one I've only recently felt comfortable with, is full-on sprinting out of the saddle whilst in the drops. This burns up energy and takes attention to coordination, power and balance that I didn't used to have. I'm getting it though, and it feels pretty great, though it can be exhausting. I definitely can't do this for very long.
