When you watch the final sprint of a road race -- not necessarily a speed max -- it looks like they just get up and hammer. But I noticed that people with heavy bikes, like the guy who set the land HPV record, will spend some time getting their bike up to top speed.

For someone looking at a level ground speed max, is an all-out frenzy not the way to go?

If not then what is the technique? I'm not a 1000 watts kind of guy but want to work on my max both in terms of strength and technique. I'm not sure if stronger guys can just jump into top speed or not.
