Lance Armstrong TT position analysis: 2010 vs 2009

Comparison of Lance's new TT position (Feb 2010) and his Tour of CA 2009 position. The new position is far improved through greater drop and a steeper seat angle (facilitated via the use of an Adamo Road saddle).

Isn't he simply looking down in one picture and up in the other?

[Nyeification]

The two pictures look like they were taken from substantially different angles as well. Is that taken into consideration? First 2009 picture is more of a true profile shot and the second from 2010 is from a higher position.

See Cancelarra for ideal set-up (and body-type).

looking up and looking down wont make a difference in the angle of his back. Ya we can all see the pictures are at a different angle but i can see the general change made.

Thanks for the vid

actually a terrible posit

It does look like his elbows are lower in the second photo, if you look at the distance between elbows to frame. The day and the course will change the position too. If the road surface is rough, you would want less weight on your arms.Consider also incline or decline of road, wind direction, any injury for example a broken rib or collar bone, etc.
