Confirmed: I am not Joaquim Rodriguez

Well, duh. But what I mean, is that I am not a punchy climber who can accelerate on steep ramps out of the saddle. On a hilly course with 6 ramps that takes about a half hour for me to do, I was 2 minutes faster spinning in the saddle yesterday than I was taking all the ramps out of the saddle in a bigger gear. Oh well, at least it's a good workout on muscles I don't use that often.
