mr. tibbs said:I'll start:
6'3"; 176 lbs - 1.90 m; 79.8 kg
Some pros from recent headlines (m; kg):
Boonen: 1.93; 82
Cancellara: 1.86; 80
Greipel: 1.84; 75
EBH: 1.81; 76
Chicchi: 1.78; 73
Machado: 1.78; 64
Contador: 1.76; 62
Nocentini: 1.73; 60
I love the difference between Chicchi and Machado. I slot in in the Boonen/Cancellara range (though I'm really more Ballan-esque). I'm curious to see how the rest of you shape up, especially the frequent posters.
Thanks for looking, you're now free to get back to the AC/LA threads.![]()

I'm 6 foot three and 205 pounds, 14 stone 9.
I was 12 stone 13 in August and got sick and injured as well
mr. tibbs said:I haven't verified it in person, but I believe Wikipedia that Boonen is 6'3". Here he is with Schwarzenegger (6'1"-6'2", depending on source). There may be a podium step involved, but I don't think so:

D Avoid said:I'm amazed , I saw him three times, all the same day, once very slow in Camden, next going down hill to Swiss Cottage , then on stage in podium mode after he beat all comers in the sprint, I never got the impression he was over 6 foot one. I tend to look huge on a bike but he really doesn't.
There was a guy who arrived quite a bit in front of everyone in Pro kit but it was a few years old, he looked very impressive for a guy who only started around the corner, I don't know which corner.
I will endeavour to eyeball Tom to turn the theory.
