I think Dan is right by assuming that French speaking triathletes of Switzerland ride shallow and German speaking ride more steep.

All the French speaking swiss that I know of and that did Hawaii this year were riding shallow. Steep is just not in the mentality here, maybe because we have a lot of hills (call them mountains) on our doorstep and do not have the German influence that the swiss german have.

Nobody cares but I had to give my 02.
