I am ignorant of your reference. I just wonder what his relative seat angle is. The Hincapie pic show much the same thing. I'm surprised more of these riders don't use modified saddles with more of the nose cut off so they can get more of the saddle under their butt. They obviously want to ride more forward or they would not be teetering off the end of the saddles.

Many TTers have the truncated saddle. Landis wants to ride steeper than anyone else, it appears: his butt looks like it is 6" further forward than Hincapie's. UCI rules say you can't have your aerobar extensions too far forward, and I think that's why his are tilted up.
As for the "Brokeback Mountain" reference: you don't want to go there. Literally and figuratively.
