A close look at Taylor Phinney's BMC Time Machine time trial bike, and morphological exceptions to UCI rules, due to his exceptional height. Click here to subscribe to GCN: http://gcn.eu/SubscribeToGCN

American Taylor Phinney has earned world championship medals against the clock as a junior and elite, on the track and on the road. After a serious leg injury kept him away from the sport for over 12 months, he returned to competition in August 2015 with a stage 1 win at the USA Pro Challenge, in Colorado, and then rode as a member of BMC Racing's world-championship winning squad in the team time trial event in Richmond, Virginia. At the Pro Challenge we caught up with BMC Racing mechanic, Ian Sherburne, as well Phinney's longtime coach, Neal Henderson, to examine both his equipment choices and his aerodynamic position, which requires "morphological exceptions" due to his exceptional height (6-foot-5, or 1.96m).
