A nice picture of Jan's position is at:

a bit down the page. At the picture of his start, one can see, how short the head tube of his bike
is, and how low the handle bars are. Note also the long seet post. You can compare this to Lance's
position at:

Don't get distracted by the girl :-)

What girl? :~)

If the side by side pictures of Armstrong and Ulrich are examples of their riding style during this
TT, Armstrong must be in incredibly fit to finish second.

Ulrich seems to be right out of a "how to ride a TT" textbook, while Armstrong could almost be used
as a "what not to do" article.
