So, generally everything I have read about cycling training put strength training in the not-so crtical stand point for performance for the typical rider. I always felt it was a good idea for reducing injuries and likely helps a little performance but people short on time are usually better off spending more time on the bike. Well here is a study showing clearly that is not necessarily true.
This study provided by Andrea points out they made a clear corelation to core training and immediate cycling performance results.
