Outliers exist, and I'm happy to credit Bjorn both with the win and with his ability to be an outlier (Let's face it, being a Cycling National Time Trial Champ doesn't tend to represent 'normal' even at the pro level). That doesn't mean that his way of riding hills is optimal for many athletes (it doesn't mean it isn't either) and there is certainly quantifiable data to show that there are many pro athletes pursuing an essentially "steady" power profile.
