Haven’t taken the time to read the whole thread, but Davis, “the cash register” Phinney has taken the time to explain why keeping your knee tucked in promotes the right hip angulation and counter steering. You can google it or do a bike forum search to see where this has been discussed ad naseum..
Given that Davis has won more races than any American, won multiple Tour De Frances stages, and was a great descender, I’ll chose to emulate his approach.
