For the first - I was just acknowledging the photographer - a friend of mine who was in the Press Truck!
For the rest, it was 1993 - we had no idea what we were doing! :)
I had seen you riding back then at races (coming back the other way) and your head position was excellent, so you're off the hook on that. The clinchers back then were dead slow compared to the old school tubies, especially those with latex. No choice on external cable routing and no choice on power meter. Your only sin was number placement, but I think pinning it to your skinsuit was better than it flapping around on a race belt:
13 years after you, I think you beat Stadler (2006) on pretty well all points and this is still the Kona bike course record set up:
