Lance seems to keep very high cadence during his time trial. I never understood why. Anybody know?

Surprisingly, the higher cadence uses less energy (because you are in a lower gear than if you were pushing 90 or so at the same speed) It is also easier on the knees to spin faster.

Hah!!! I need to show my wife why I'm not lazy on the pedals. Just a smart way to burn the "extra" energy faster
