Bigger.
For Cav's peak speed on 53-11 then he would need to be spinning at 122rpm. Not sure how stable that would be on a road sprint. 110rpm would need 58-11.
You don't want to choose too big a gear because you don't want to be grinding to the line. Don't want to small either because you'll loose the ability to kick.
