Froome's position opens the hip angle up more than the "top tube safe" position, so while the research says Froome's position isn't the most aero, it's almost certainly the fastest for him, probably because he's able to produce significantly more power in that position.
Froome's position was honed at the aero tunnel. That's the one.
Chris Froome style, spinning, while sat on the crossbar.
Not according to the article.
Err.....
Which is exactly what I said, spinning the legs while sat on the crossbar.
