some of you have been hating on the hydrapak... please stop... i am very sensitive...
i looked at myself before the race last saturday and i realized that i am the guy that the young riders make fun of... i am not cool at all... i have a hydrapak and tall socks and and a GPS gadget... i need to shave and i am bald and my legs are hairy... all i need now is a visor for my helmet...

Mirrors and blinkers, gotta have mirrors and blinkers.
I thought you just had a hump. When you rolled up at Roswell without I almost asked you if they lanced it or something.
also, I'm no bike fit expert, but you look like your saddle is like 10mm too high from behind. drop your bars 30mm and your saddle 10mm. Your TT times will be cut in half-trust me. On the other hand, you can see ur a trakie in the way you pedal smoothie (except for the hip rocking....
Yeah, I am not physioligist or anything but, your rear end and your head seem to be much to big for you body. And I do not think you should be riding a standard saddle with that "booty-hoping" going on. Yeah maybe hit the slim fast and drop your saddle height.
You doing connecticut?
I saw you on Saturday in San Clemente warming up with JB. I yelled out of my car window, "Go get em, Erik". You just looked confused. Then, on Sunday, while riding north on PCH in Huntington Beach, I saw you riding south. I didn't say anything this time, but the same confused look. What gives?
No, i'm pretty sure young riders dont care about the hydropak and most likely you will be seeing more of them, soon. I have a broken collarbone or else i would wear one... and i know my dads girlfriend's son looks up to you or else he wouldnt have asked you for an autograph sunday. The kid loves watching cycling and was cheering all you guys on at san clemente everytime you came around. keep it up
my hips just rock.. all the time.. they rock with the saddle 5cm lower...
i went to testa's lab last year to do a biomechanical analysis.. and i was already very efficient and made a lot of power...and had a very round stroke...no matter what we did my hips rocked.. so i just said forget it... and they said ok... and then raised my saddle 4cm... hmmm... they said my peak in the stroke was later than it should have been and we may as well raise it to get more glute and hamstring power... its worked well...
i am very long waisted.. and my arms are really long too... and i am very flexible... i can ride very low and still breathe and it doesnt seem to cost me anything biomechanically... so i just go for it... even when i am tight i can palm the ground with my knees locked... when i am limber i can get my elbows to touch my ankles...
a lot of guys cant ride like i ride... its a question of morphology.. i am pretty atypical...
A lot of guys with only one testicle have problems keeping their hips from rocking. Maybe a cutout in the front of the saddle?
wait. i thought having one ball was the key to winning six straight? or do you mean their hips are "rocking", like hittin' it wid the queen o' rock?
