In his book, Tops says how he tried raising his saddle in order to get a flatter back, and found that this also resulted in an increase in power. However, he started producing times that were way too slow for his power output, and returning to a saddle position 2 inches lower (where a bike fit had placed his saddle) resulted in a notable increase in performance.
