I agree.  He should have matching overshoes.  :P

Seriously, that position looks terrifying.

Distinctly uncomfortable too. Is he sitting on the bar? I don't know which would be more painful - resting on the bar or holding that position without sitting - my legs ache just thinking about it.

Where Pedro Horillo fell today. Reported as 60m, so presumably right to the bottom.

I took one look at that and thought how much I'd hate it.  Is there any steering control at all?

I'd also be petrified of the rear wheel skipping on rough tarmac and starting a fishtail.

I've not hit 50mph yet (47.9mph is my max in flat Essex), but I stay firmly on the saddle, so equal weight goes on both wheels.
