I have been trying to work out what the difference is?
Some people are good at hills some are good at flats?
Is it hill people are generally lighter and have a better power to weight ratio when no wind resistance is at play?
But flats people have a more muscle and stronger but heavier, so they can push air but fall back due to the extra weight up hills?
Is it a body type thing or a training thing that determines who will be fast where?
Obviously at my level I could be better at either with better fitness. But at what point do you start to see where peoples natural abilities lie and I wonder do the climbers train differently to the flat guys? (besides just going up more hills or riding on more flats!)
