Yes, the Texan pedaled at an unusually high cadence, and he practiced to be able to put out high power at that cadence.
But there's scant evidence that this high cadence was any better or more effective than lower cadences.
His coach, Chris Carmichael, noted that the Texan tended to bulk up his muscles, increasing his body weight, so Carmichael hoped that using a high cadence would keep the Texan from putting on weight.
