Good eye.
I used to ride 165mm cranks and sit way forward in order to spin them. Last year (under Kirk) I switched to longer cranks, moved the saddle back, and changed other parts of the fit in order to push bigger gears. It was starting to work. Power numbers went up. But, I quit as the season started when work got really stressful.
Here is a more recent pic of my setup:
Notice the setback.
I don't use the Arione anymore, though.
