Fausto's compared to Alberto's riding position.
PATRICK MOORE
And note that Fausto could easily get as low as Albert in the hooks by
simply bending his elbows. I discovered that having the bar 2 cm above
the saddle on the Fargo didn't mean that I could not get low: if I
bent my elbows 90 degrees I was as low as in the hooks of my road
bikes with bar 2 cm below saddle, tho' shallower drop.
OTOH, I did just the other day reduce the Noodles on the Fargo to even
with saddle because I feel that it gives me better weight
distribution. The hoods are still high enough for long distance
comfort and the hooks for 10 miles at a stretch and the lower flats
and ramps don't feel as tippy.
I expect that really high bars work better with a more forward saddle
position -- am I right? At any rate, my principal beef with very high
bars, even if the bar allows one to bend over to use the important
back and gluteus muscles, is that, when I sit up, I feel as if the
front end is very vague.

surely had something to do with the contrast of his appearance on the
bike and off, as the bird, graceful in flight yet so awkward on the
ground. His bike's fit to his proportions ought to be compared to that
more than Contador. Time in P.O.W. camps and life before the invention
of the Twinkie is all that keeps him that low in the hooks.
