    I'm thinking that after one is fit enough for long enough they stand a chance of finding their own
    personal style. Then when they can tell they're able to play that style out successfully, they say
    they're "in form."

    Then one can always expand each of these 3 areas.

    But great fitness alone means nothing. And knowing what your style is like is useless unless you're
    in shape enough to use it.

    Is that kind of how it goes?

    It never ceases to amaze me, how far your head is up your ass.

    I've found my own personal style. I call it "Masters Fattie".

    I am very successful at playing out that style.

    I am IN FORM!

    My 2 cents: If you are fit (i.e. not fat) it is a lot easier to be a stylish rider. Fitness + Style
    = confidence = form.

    As a fat guy, I can say this with absolute certainty.

    [Oops...I hit some key wrong with that previous post.]

    Anyway, it seems like even fit riders very often look to other riders and imitate them rather than
    realize they have their own personal way of racing/riding that's different from others. Sure it's
    good to try new things, but it does seem like finding one's own style is different from fitness. And
    that when you're "in form" you can execute that style.
