I'm guessing the point was to illustrate a person who due to injury or back problems is unable to ride with a longer stem?
But talking of the pictures, it the Australian guy meant to be an ideal set up? It seems to me that he is in violation of the rule (of thumb) that you should not be able to see your hubs over the handlebars?

Gives the rider a more profitable wheel suck, being further into the draft.

Bars too low if anything I'd say. Pretty sure the front hub rule is bollocks tbh.

Everyone is different. It's not a case of 'able' but instead 'most comfortable/natural'.

They are all the ideal setup... for that rider.

That's just a reference point. Rules >>>

The hubs over handlebar should rightly be ignored and never speak of again.

What bugs me is the short effective torso rider will be less short effective (longer) if he chooses a stem 20mm longer than on the picture - visa versa on the long effective torso rider. Does the stem then indirect become a set-back-whisperer?
