My guess is that he means Picture 51 of Tony Martin. Yeah, that's a pretty aggressive position for descending.

Pssst.....Tony! Those pads are for your ARMS, not your chest!!!"

;-)

Man, one good bump and he is done for!!! Not even certain how he can ride a bike with balls that big.
Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!

CK - I've done that couple times; that is so friggin uncomfortable and sapping. Couldn't hold it more that a handful of seconds.

Pantani doesn't get his just due for his overall bike handling skills.

Did Specialized ever do any wind tunnel testing of Tony M in that position ? Some where there is a frame / fork designer is just rolling his eyes.

It does look like one false move and it's all over

Holy crap. That is just not right.

Tell me that is just the shorts pad color just bleeding thru. If it's not that is just WRONG

I honestly don't know if that is the same race or not.....but someone posted the pic on the ST thread about his descending position, so I thought I would sahre.

As someone on ST said, I wanna be able to generate sack-shredding wattage on my TT bike.

Interesting...I found that pic with some commentary (don't try this at home)

Tony Martin after the final time trial of the Vuelta al Pais Vasco 2014. Tony sticks skateboard grip tape (like sandpaper) to the top of his saddle to keep him in the perfect aerodynamic position. Unfortunately, it tends to eat through his shorts - sometimes too far.
