The line of grazing on the upper part of his back is on the shoulder blade. The collarbone is not visible in that pic as it runs from your shoulder tip to about the front of your throat.

I understand that Tyler abandoned because of lower back problems (as did Brad McGee).

If you have ever had a lower back problem then you must sympathise with these gentlemen as it is virtually impossible to generate pedal force going up hills without placing stress on the lower back coupled with an oversupply of pain.

Must say that Tyler has currently no obesity problem
