In this episode, we explore the fine line between power and speed in racing.

While we swear by power meters, Lachlan Morton's Unbound win without one raises a key question: are athletes too fixated on power at the expense of speed?

Discover why focusing on speed, not just power numbers, is crucial for race success.

Tune in for insights on balancing these metrics to truly excel!
