The concept of planing is absurd; and anyone with any exprience pacing intervals to a power meter can poke holes through their testing methodology.

Sitting the same guy on a bike for five “all you got” efforts and holding that up as your proof... it’s lazy and misleading to the casual reader who might actually place weight behind what’s being read.

And I found myself wondering if the author actually understood the concept of power as I read through the article.

Simply put if there was a 15% increase in power waiting to be unlocked based upon bikes - it wouldn’t be a concept being floated on the backwaters of the internet and there would be serious pro team R&D going into it.

But there’s not, so there isn’t.
