Bananito is already a legend. Let him in peace. He will lose 5-7 kg in the next 10 days and contend for a stage win in the last week. Good timing for the worlds.

yeah like last years vuelta

Post of the month right here!

Damn, the last few pages really cracked me up. Not the fact, that he is overweight, but the comments about it are just hilarious.

 

[Miburo]

What cycling rule says that you need to be slim? Let the man live his life. I love my food too.

He ain't an alien after all, no veins popping like crazy.

 

[damian13ster]

Maybe they wil save on food bills

I can already see a clause in his contract:
- Cost of food is going to be subtracted from rider's salary.

But I'd much rather be skinny than a fat little dumpling.

It's not all bad for him though, apparently Cancellara lost over 4kg in the heat yesterday! There could be hope he loses all the weight be the end of the Vuelta.

When ullrich had too much weight he had a good trick.

Go on a 8 hour ride with a bottle of water. No joke, he did it

That's not a trick, that's the equivalent of pulling an all-nighter just before an exam after not doing ****-all during the whole semester.

The actual trick was stopping at the bars along the ride.

I completely agree! Betancur's doing away with the stigma that we need to be lean and in shape. Good job Carlos, keep fighting the good fight.

 

[TANK91]

Well i hope he as to take his fat a** back to a conti team as this is a talent that can dominate ardennes yet he is just being stupid.

115 KILOS?

 

[classicomano]

115 KILOS?

I think its more than that to be honest.

 

[Kokoso]

He looks like a middle-aged coke baron

More like baron's spoiled child with his face and stature.

 

[ILovecycling]

Otoh he havent lost so much today,

Escarabajo,what about that bet?

 

[hfer07]

I think its more than that to be honest.

dude- a 115 Kilos @ 1.67 mts tall is not even overweight- IS OBESE

 

[Rollthedice]

115 KILOS?

Must be a wikipedia joke.

 

[ILovecycling]

Must be a wikipedia joke.

Yep,and not very good joke,I think he is slightly above 70

 

[Roude Leiw]

Must be a wikipedia joke.

Even if it is a good running gag, let's keep it satirical and not over the top. Even if the pictures show that he does not look like an anorexic pro, there is no way that he weighs in at more than Wladimir Klitschko....

 

[hrotha]

Yep,and not very good joke,I think he is slightly above 70

It's a hilarious joke.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it's not hilarious at all. it's like child humor. too obvious and easy to do. seriously most people here lack a good sense of humor. maybe it's a non anglo saxan thing I guess. mild jokes or humor or something.

 

[hrotha]

It's not hilarious because he's Colombian. Which makes it even more hilarious.
