Best build for Cyclist

[black'n'yellow]

Also Wiggins vs Hoy over 70 miles? That's epic trolling from Black and Yellow right there.

to be fair, the question would not have arisen (yet again) without slightly misplaced comments like the one below...

riders with big legs would pretty much always win if there weren't hills.

It does seem to be a rather hot topic at the moment. It's also a little baffling that people often suggest big legs make for the fastest cyclist over any distance (albeit flat). Even the apparently muscular riders such as Cav, Greipel and Sagan are insanely thin. This is very apparent when you see them standing next to an average Joe when signing autographs etc.

Anyway i am no stranger to having a playful poke at the proverbial bear. All in a good nature of course.

Yeah, even if I were 20 years younger I would not want to race Wiggers lugging around a 53" chest and 19" pipes like I do now. A lot of muscle mass to haul that wouldn't bring much benefit.

I can't see anyone beating Wiggo whilst smoking. Seriously, what are pipes, 19" is too small to be thighs, is that a neck measurement?

Horse Jockeys would probably make good cyclists.

but would cyclists make good jockeys..?

After some time whipping the bike they may finally figure out that THEY are actually required to do the hard graft themselves and go back to horse racing!

Pipes. Guns. Vernacular for arms.

We are talking length aren't we(?!)
