Tabata To Supplement Road Training?

Does anyone use Tababta to supplement their road cycling for their fitness?

I'm looking for sub-seven hour sportives this year (my record is 7 hours 10 mins) and as well as the fasted rides (before breakfast), steady state and tempo riding that I already do, I thought I'd start to throw in a Tabata on my spin bike every week or so. I usually get in about 90 to 100 miles per week and occasionally do a threshold ride on the spin bike - usually when the weather is awful!

Any thoughts or experience greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

    Will it get you a bit fitter? Sure. Will you cycle better as a result? No. Go ride your bike instead.
