Right on. I think the guys that get more forward can get far lower than I am, e.g., Billington's kilo position. Mine is still experimental. Did the warm-up on an 82, but my efforts today were over...

Tried the new position on the track today. After using for warm up, I moved the skis forward 5mm and this helped comfort. Then used em for a rolling 1km and a rolling 500 and they seemed fine. During...

We shall see! This is actually a position I've ridden in the past (but with the saddle an additional 2cm back), so it's really not new. It's achieved by using one of those adjustable Look stems, but...

Ok, I take back what I said here- have a look at our boy Pervis. He's pretty far back there, and he stays back throughout his ride. I guess this is still how the French are doing it.

By the way, who had thoughts on Hermes' position? Everybody looks too far forward to me (kept Carleton), so I probably shouldn't comment.
