This question would be better suited to rec.bicycles.tech.

But how about those very different body-thigh angles. Am I right in

Oh no.............

Not the TTT synchronized pedaling [censored] again.......

It's hard to tell from the angle the shot is taken from, but it sort of
looks like Basso has already gone a few degrees past TDC, while Rasmussen
is about the same behind it. Plus it kind of appears that Rasmussen has a
little bit more angle on his left ankle (his heel appears higher), both of
which might make his thigh to body angle seem more acute than Basso's. But
it is pretty hard to tell.

I certainly couldn't pedal like that. Maybe his seatpost slid down.

Your message fills a much needed gap.

I think the thigh should be parallel to the ground at that point.

I think many tend to have their seat too high, including some elites.

A little bit too-high saddle probably doesn't affect power, but
probably does affect comfort and may lead to lower back pain.
