Decent article. I like TD's training tips on FB. I go slower whenever I try to spin faster than I can. It feels like faster cadence comes after the fitness. It's almost impossible to spin fast like Froome when you don't have the cardiovascular capacity or fitness. Recently I have been experimenting a lot on finding the right power and cadence combos to keep my momentum going when I'm climbing. It takes time and lot of tries

If you're interested in developing the ability to spin fast, riding a fixed-gear bike in hilly terrain will speed up the process, if you live (paraphrasing Mark Twain on the topic of riding bikes).
