ha... couldn't wait to test my hypothesis... proof that inside, torque is directly proportional to angular velocity/cadence which is proportional to power.. i.e. the only way to produce more power inside is to spin faster and that outside you can increase your power simply by pressing harder on the pedals (i.e. torque is not necessarily proportional to angular velocity/cadence and power)...
look at your graphs...
an inside sprint graph... power, cadence and torque will all sit right on top of one another and will all vary pretty much the same.
then look at a graph for an outside sprint... you'll see torque rises first as you overcome the inertia of you and your bike... then torque will start to drop off power will rise and cadence will rise but not as fast as power... power will flatten out or start to drop and cadence will continue to increase 'til the end of the sprint...
proof positive that the dynamics of pedalling indoors and outdoors are different.. you can actually just look at the graph and know right away if it was done inside or out at a glance...
[Edit] if you stomp the pedals at 1-2 o'clock and don't pull/push through increasing your integral power substantially from the two big blips in torque and power as frenchyge stated you will have a really hard time making the same numbers inside..
sprints from a standing start are more obvious but the difference in profiles is still quite distinctive
