Why do so many cyclists look like skinny wee junkies?

What if we had bike-boxing, ride say, 50 km, every 10 km both stop for a round? Or perhaps start with 5 rounds, with another 5 at the end?

Or bike climbing where you do a 50m rock climb every 10km

Good idea, but no changing shoes allowed.

Why are Sumo wrestlers so fat?

I’d like to see you beat the skinny frail weak bloke. You’d get slaughtered. What does that make you?🤣😂

Depends on the contest id take him in a boxing match

Track sprinters are the cyclists with muscle.

This is Tom Boonen, I don't think he was this size all his racing career, its horses for courses, he wouldn't have been able to compete with the skinny frail riders in todays XC race.

I think if you actually trained as hard and as often as those guys, you would loose all excess body fat within weeks.

Is this the same OP as the other bloke who keeps starting these questionable threads?

How do you think they look like a junkie?

I think they look like super fit athletes and not at all like junkies.

Don’t tell me you don’t look like a skinny wee junkie, Rich
