The most powerful and most fatigue resistant muscle in the hip/leg with 20% more slow twitch fiber content than the glute or quad muscles is the soleus, it is ignored and left idle by all cyclists. When used correctly in a semi circular technique as this man did, it can deliver the same maximal torque at 12 and 1 o'c as that applied around 3 for the smoothest and most effective way to apply high gear power in non climbing time trials.
