His legs are much bigger and I'm sure much stronger than mine. That's also a 90 second ride. It has absolutely nothing to do with the type of riding I do. And I'll bet he has about 3-4 times more fast twitch muscle than I have.

But, yeah, those guys are definitely outliers. That's kind of the point of what they do.
