Take two riders with the same bikes and the one with the best legs will always win, full stop.
That is surely so obvious as to go without saying.

See regular posts saying a better bike won't make any difference, but this certainly suggests otherwise.
I see from your avatar you seem rather partial l to a Porsche where as Ford Ka would be far more efficient in getting from A to B in terms of costs so what's the point in a Porsche?
There's no question about that. No argument at all, and I have always said the same.Take two riders with the same bikes and the one with the best legs will always win, full stop.
Why the assumption that everyone wants to be a better rider?
My point is that with the same legs, you Can go faster on a better bike. That's always argued against when people ask on here and it's factually incorrect.

ep. Take two evenly matched riders, and the one with the better kit will win

Define 'better'...??? You're layinig out a bit of a minefield for yourself with statements like that..
Did you not read the post I defined efficient? "far more efficient in getting from A to B in terms of costs so what's the point in a Porsche?"Depends on your definition of efficiency. If speed is a critical consideration, then the Porsche would undoubtedly be more efficient than the Ka. Unless you meant to say 'cheaper'...

I was waiting for the speed counter perhaps you would like to tell me with how much quicker a car that has the BHP of a Porsche gets from London to Brighton observing the speed limits and with the limitations of normal traffic conditions. Not a lot is the right answer.
I would have thought that this was pretty obvious, don't you think. Daft question tbh.Presumably he meant a bike better suited to the task in hand. A Cervelo P5 is better than a £300 MTB, but presumably not on the trails.
