Armstrong was most def bigger bulky guy,look at him pre cancer,lmaoo. He was 78 kilo back at the time and than he got leaner.Same kilo as jan btw,only he can get out of saddle. Pog looked exceptional in romandie for this point of time. He is training in blocks now,first classics and than climbing. You reach higher peak that way and its easier on the body.

Lance was 71-72 kg in the Tour.

Cool. Thanks.

But IMO a tad weird: Recon on the first climb of a stage?
Is it a new thing or am I the one who's unaware?

Maybe just a suitable place to do a long climb at moderate gradients that is also due to be raced this year.

Depending on race situation in GC heading into that stage there could be fireworks on that climb given its length and the shortness of the overall stage.

A good sign that Del Toro is recovered from his Itzulia crash.

Very hard to see that with Solaison the day after.

Del Toro will be very important to make a terrific leadout.
