They both have had their positions done in the same wind tunnel. Same reason they have both started wearing those ridicuous knee length lycra "shinguards"
It is interesting to look at the positions of Hutch and Shaw, the two outstanding riders at the National 10 - both are very similar, and both are very different to the other leading lights:
Notice how both have their arms angled up, almost parallel to the plane of their torsos. Neither are particularly flat or low. Both appear slightly forward. And on Sunday both won by a country mile.
