My question is, how on earth did they win with such radically out of
sync pedal strokes.

What? You've never seen fog leaders? On the good teams, they also set
synchronization...

Think how much faster they would have been if they'd been in sync. They were
just toying with the competition here.

Similar to the reason why soldiers change from marching to "out of synch"
walking:

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/discoveries/2005-11-06-snapshot-bridges
_x.htm
"synchronized steps might set a bridge to swinging up and down
and then apart"

Pedalling in synch can cause strong waves of airflow against team mates in
the paceline that can be disruptive.

How can you hope for synchronicity when you got mismatched booties!

These guys suck.

There are so many types of synchronization, it's not just limited to
their pedal strokes. Their thoughts may have been in synch, for
example.

Reminds me of a Steven Wright joke:

"A woman said to me, 'your socks don't match'...

I told her 'I characterize them by thickness, they match perfectly'. "
