How is this guy not even 80 kgs? He looks closer to 90!
Yep, he's 82 kgs.roundabout said:Phinney is a tall boy. Should probably be around 80 simply because of his height.
Dekker_Tifosi said:By the way he climbs this Vuelta you would think Devolder weights at least 120kg.

The way he climbed the stage Lastras won was ridiculously hilarious... does he ever do anything good anymore? Wasn't he hailed as an upcoming GT aspirant back a bunch of years ago? I haven't seen him do anything since he won the back to back RVV though..

zapata said:In an interview years ago, he said he doesn't consider himself a sprinter, but rather liked to get in breakaways.
Tank Engine said:In the year he won 2 TdF stages, one was from a break. He has always seemed to get in a reasonable number of breaks. I've always seen him as a classy rider, but he doesn't seem to have the top end speed of Cav, Farrar or Greipel. I was surprised a) that the group was so big after 3 weeks and a couple of Cat. 1s, b) Sagan wasn't there. Anyway, tomorrow is the climax JRod vs TGBM
More like 58, unless he's gained a lot of weight recently...killswitch said:Duarte is actually not that small - 63.5 kgs. Martin is only 75 kgs.
Zinoviev Letter said:I think we sometimes forget how young Sagan is. It's not really surprising that he's been nowhere in the final week of his first GT, particularly when you remember that he was already near his peak for the Tour of Poland.
Why-yes-I'm-quoting-myself said:Sorry for late reply...
I'm pretty sure it said Kristof Vandewalle... :-/ On the list at the side... yet it does say/imply it to be J Vandewalle...
Are those two related?
hrotha said:So apparently Gárate has said the plan was for Mollema to attack on Urkiola, and they were telling him to attack since the tactical situation was perfect, but he was too chicken to give it a try. Dutch Mafia, you should start working on boosting his confidence.

Probably, but he had literally nothing to lose, and I doubt he was feeling worse than other contenders.Dekker_Tifosi said:Meh, I think he wasn't feeling so well.
