Thanks for sharing those. Some of it surprising, like up to a 30% gain in sprint. It would have been interesting to have found riders who were accustomed to riding flats and put them in clipless to see how they do. It stands to reason that you going to do best doing things the way you always do them. My road bike has clipless. All of my others used to. One of the stated concerns many posters here voiced was that they were worried about their foot slipping off the pedal. I have ridden extensively with clipless and flats and have had far more clipless related issues than flats related issues. I am not exactly a model of grace so take that for whatever that is worth!
