the whole theory on when to train is partly related to hormones in the body, and how they work together, thus causing less catabolism (muscle breakdown) more for strength atheletes but for a cyclist is still good data.

Aussies found the ratio between Morning vs Evening was slighter better in the evening, less spikes in Cortisol (remember Cort is high in Morning/Lunch time) but Test is also highest in Morning.

Do what you find works best, we are talking small gains to be had. I personally find I am quite stronger at night (evening 5pm etc) then in the morning.
If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.
