Most y'all are missing the point of my post... and that's my fault for not being clear.
Roughly 158 riders started that TT today and they were all pretty similar in their choices of stuff like eye coverings, shoe covers that become rather high socks (BUT NOT TOO HIGH), and elbow angles that are pretty obtuse - but not this guy. Now you may might say, Vic's doesn't care, or Vic's a triathlete at heart, or Vic's a climber and he's just roll this out, or he's a sprinter so this isn't his day - none of that would be correct. Anybody who's taken the Hour Record in the past...say, 50 years cares and Victor's none of those other things.
I find that interesting.
And MattyK to you specifically they all have the same UCI constraints, they each likely vie for one ME (morphological Exemption) - you're right, he may have taken his on the saddle nose/BB and had to leave this aero extensions short - 'cause you can't get two MEs but you can get one.
Maybe by going against the grain on the socks he can distract the officials on the something else??
