Grath said A recent trend is to lower the stem many inches below the seat and this can either cause the knees to jamb into the rib cage (especially when using long cranks 172.5 and up).

Surely this is why these two riders show pain in their faces. How can they expect to ride at a high level of competition with their seats so high in relationship to their bars and cranks that are 172.5 or longer not to mention having bars that are equal to the width of the shoulders or wider?
