Surprised some of the posters are questioning his technique.
I like his TDF stages analysis, but some do not.
I wasn't questioning his techniques, just more curious on his style. I personally love going out of saddle, but I've been trying to improve my energy conservation and aerobic conditioning, so I've been forcing myself to stay seated. When I go out of saddle, it becomes more like an anaerobic exercise utilizing more of my muscle strength.
I find there is so much depth and technique when it comes to climbing, I still feel like there's much to learn.
