the initial fit looks better actually.
In the second, your fitter got you to rotate your pelvis forward, which is good, perhaps as a result of the very good Fizik Mistica saddle, but didn't take the next logical step to move your arm pads forward and down, which would have made you look like the top picture but just rotated 10 degrees to the right / clockwise.
Also, you're putting your forearms on your pads instead of your elbows... this both reduces reach and makes your fit less comfortable. You're also holding your extensions instead of having them push back against you to lock you into your position.
Edit: In the second pic, your saddle is probably too high.
How much more reach adjustment does that Orbea have? Can you switch to ski bend extensions?

You could well be right. The first image was when the bike had just been built, not setup for me. The second image certainly felt like an improvement but you think I still look a little squashed in the upper body. You think its the setup rather than the bike ?Eric Reid AeroFit | Instagram Portfolio
