What is the foam going to do in those spots? Am I missing something?

since it's not solid, the theory is that it shakes the mud off so it won't build up

Its not so much about keeping mud off the seatpost, Mccarver and more about keeping the bike light. The back of the seatpost is directly inline with the rear tire, which will be… you guessed it, slinging sticky mud at it. This will keep the bike closer to normal weight and leave Peaty with more energy. This isn't his first rodeo..

Yeahhh... I wouldn't question the tactics of the dude whose been racing the WC circuit for two decades and just got a top 10. When I see that, I just go, "well it must do something and I will copy him at every race because he's the man".

No, this is an old trick Motocross and Supercross racers have been doing for years for mud races and it keeps the mud from sticking.
