Nonsense. Bartoli is pre-compact steerer, the difference in bar drop is small, but the diference in saddle to steerer drop is huge. There are tons of pictures on Fignon and the way he is positioned is completely different than Bartoli (who is much more alike Lemond, who also sat deep)
Fignon has crooked arms here to get his back flat. Whereas Bartoli extends his arms down. And yes, the crank positions are quite similar, twelve oclock.

And riddle me this, you imply that Lemond and Fignon both had a similar fit? Tchmil with his hands on the bars somehow is similar to all the others in the drop?
Quite simply put there are more than one way to sit good on a bike.
