Simone Andreetta of the Bardiani-CSF team was the subject of sincere concern by a Cyclingnews reader who watched him riding in the breakaway in the Dubai Tour and suggested he needs to lower his saddle. But the Italian fended off the suggestion, saying he is happy with his bike fit.
Andreetta was in the breakaway of the day during stage 2 to Ras Al Khaimah on Wednesday and caught the watchful eye of a real estate broker named John R. in Ottawa, who was inspired to send an email to Cyclingnews by the Italian's swaying riding style.
He wrote: "#41 in the 2017 Dubai Tour needs to lower his saddle by 1cm or 2 cms. I watched him in the breakaway in stage 2. His hips were going up and down with each pedal stroke."

"Please use your resources to contact the Directeur Sportifs for the team. Suggest to him that #41's saddle height should be examined and adjusted if needed."

Cyclingnews did just that and passed on the message to Andreetta and the Bardiani-CSF team. Rather than being upset or dismissive of the comments, Andreetta was grateful and happy to send a message back to John via Cyclingnews.
