Yes, his left stump is attached to the seat post by some kind of bracket. I think the stem structure is dictated by his need to get the grip so far from the stem mounting point, and what is obviously a very limited budget; I doubt that he put anywhere near as much torque into the stem as a sprinter like Hoy, but Hoy gets world class aerospace composite engineers to make his bar/stem.
