But Sammy is far faster in a sprint! What a great sport that can accommodate people of all different sizes. Once said to me by a wise old coach, "Ignore size, the bike is a great leveller" and so it is. I'll bet Sammy descends a bit better too, low centre of gravity and all that, but I wouldn't have minded having a Conor in the peloton when it was windy, imagine the shelter!
