Sounds like Adam Hansen, who also makes his own carbon cycling shoes and chooses to position his race radio on the back of his neck for better aereos. If he finishes the Vuelta, it will be his 10th consecutive grand tour, so it must be working for him.

Correct! He uses a Deda Pista stem and the saddle all the way forward. I guess when you spend that long on a bike, a fit can tell you one thing but your own feelings can override that.

I saw one of those 'look at a pro's bike' things on a website like road.cc and there was an Aussie pro who rode with a Thomson Elite inline, a ridiculous saddle to bar drop, a ridiculous stem, and 38cm bars which were apparently too narrow for him.
Why? Personal preference, the same reason a lot of us use inline posts.
