These guys all appear to have normal fits. Notice how little distance is between the foot and ground on the rider in blue? Many pro fitters say you have a 30 degree bend in the knee bottom of pedal stroke. A 32" leg bent at 30 degrees has an effective length of about 28". Simply straightening your leg gets you 4 more inches, then extend your ankle for 1 or 2" more. Does it look like the rider in blue has 5+ inches to go before he can reach the ground?
The rider in blue is leaning to his left making the pedal closer to the ground.
