Glaetzer's position is crazy - I love it. With him, for whatever reason, it looks natural and not strained. Something about how he rides makes him particularly look like an animal, a predator, something big and feline and scary.

The thing about what works for pros - especially sprinters - is that they have go with what feels right. It's sort of a vague item that aligns with them needing a position in which they can put out maximum power. It might not be "optimized" for w/cda, but then again an "optimized" position might fail to take into account other sub-optimal conditions.

Frequently, I think it's not a great idea to look at the pros for too much inspiration. They're freaks. We're mortals. And they don't always follow or trust science.
