Are those commercially available?

Don't think it's an OPQS rider, those are Corima wheels which Astana use.0 -

Probably an idiot question but...
How come you know it's a 170 ? Have you used the rest of the photo as a basis ?0 -
I don't know for sure. It was the title on it.Contador is the Greatest0

Someone who bought the wrong size frame is my guess.....frenchfighter wrote:Anyone know who this rider is?You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -

He's taking the Disgruntledgoat approach of a slightly too small frame for lightness and then a long stem for "racey" handling.

Just look for a rider with his knuckles dragging on the ground.0

I imagine it will be Kasheshkin, he had a 150 when they were riding BMC.0

Here's the photographers facebook page and the original photo. Could ask him.

Racey? It must be like turning the Ark Royal.0 -

Must be Kashechkin. He's about 5cm taller than anyone else on the Vuelta team (according to the Astana roster), he's pictured on his own website with a bike with a similarly massive stem:

and I think you can just see the silver stem in this photo:

I use a 140mm stem on a slightly smaller frame, as I mentioned. I just like the way it handles. I do occasionally swap it for a shorter one on TTs and HCs as, again, I just like it.
So much of positioning is just what you feel comfortable with."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Ah i see what you are saying. As in the "codpiece" or E type bonnet (probably explains my 90mm
) 0 -
Likely to be a horrible and unstable (dangerous) ride if this is true and not just a weird camera perspective... the handlebars will be clamped beyond the front hub meaning the rider would need to be super careful when braking and riding out of saddle (i.e. more weight on the front portion of the wheel (flying over handlebars comes to mind)...**************************************************

There is no way that that stem even compares to your position. His is quite reasonable for a long, lean pro athlete.

Magnus and Harmon saying on Eurosport yesterday that it is KASHECHKIN that is now using a 190mm stem!0

It's Kashekin's stem. He's had it for yonks, it was custom made by FSA hence why his mechanic stripped the paint when he moved to Saxo Bank.
Poke-her face (:-D) I heard that comment y'day during the TofT and I wonder if they made a mistake. A 190mm stem is ridiculous...When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.0
