Can’t really fairly compare sprinters (spin class) to endurance road riders. Besides, most of them are there for an aerobic workout and not to improve their cycling stamina - at least from the spin classes I took.
And have to agree that the people who were really into spin class were absolute animals. I had years of cycling experience - endurance rides - and they would kill me every time. Just accepted it.
