When you say sprinting, I'm envisioning out of the saddle throwing down the max power you can manage...where are your hands? Hint, if they're on the hoods, you're doing it wrong.
Unless, your name starts with Guiseppe and ends with Saronni. (Rule 92)
Get into the drops, and power away. If you already are....you are massively powerful and I want to ride with you.
It was 'only' 900 Watts. My max was achieved on my trainer, just shy of 1000. That is hardly "massively powerful", which is why I thought I must be doing something wrong in the first place.
I prefer to have them on the hoods, but this particular time they were on the drops (which may explain some of the lower power versus my max, pretty sure I can do more on the hoods).
