Agree that on the road there is a lot of improvement to be had working on hills. But you need to combine it with some effort that increases or maintains leg speed in the long run.
Agreed. Theo Bos is an incredibly strong rider, no doubt, but the secret to his speed is the ability to tick a gear (not a 53x11) over at very, very high RPM.
