I do love me some old time cycling too ! How cool would that be to be able to watch all those years of races with the kind of coverage we have today. As form goes, that's another one of those "either you have it" . .. or you don't. That's his natural body form/flexibility. I know the

Comfort can be different things to different people. I suppose it depends on what part of you is not comfortable and how to make that part comfortable. For some it's their back, others their neck, shoulders, hands, knees, or any combination of these. As we age, that changes, as well. On

Interesting; compare with: https://youtu.be/i-M4YCNTO7I?t=454 Merckx was not an elegant pedaler; which didn't appear to slow him down. Both share the low back position, as they would have to to ride hard. But the take away from this discussion and Jan's article is not so much riding hard as
