Could Lance's former "troubles" be possibly attributted to this situation?? wil we find out that the ugly SMP saddles might be the way to go in the future........yuck!

I don't know whether anyone can find a cause and effect situation with saddles, but I would suspect that those steel Brooks tensioning devices of torture, right up there on the nose of the saddle would not help...
Jest aside, a lot of it has to do with finding an appropriate saddle and riding it (well...) appropriately. Like sitting on it on your sit-bones and on the back of the saddle. If you need to lean forward, get a shorter stem and/or push the saddle railings as far forward as it is comfortable on the seatpost...
