Leg strength doesn't equal FTP

Here’s a great video that compares short power vs FTP essentially.

"We pit a pure road cyclist against a pure Olympic track sprinter in this “who’s the better cyclist video”. We do 6 challenges with the winner getting a 30-second time bonus on each challenge, then a final showdown on a climb wraps up who’s the better overall cyclist.

I am the Roadie in this test, I am a Cat 2 with a 5 watt per kilo FTP. Tomas is an Olympic caliber track sprinter who has one hell of a sprint on him. the challenges are a MAX Sprint, 30-second Sprint, a Beachbody Challenge, Max Cadence, a heads up Sprint, and a 20-minute crit. **We really get to see each cyclist, the Roadie and the track star shine in their respective disciplines."
