....get the big sprinters over the mountain ....

I always love this ("Big Georgie Hincapie", etc.). I know relatively speaking, they may be larger than the pure climbers, etc., but none of these guys are exactly "big". Well, okay, Magnus Backstedt. But that's it. :P

OK OK, I'll have to agree - some of the "big sprinters" are not exactly big at all - ala Robbie McEwan, or Allen Davis - who are actually kind of short guys, though I'd hesistate to call Robbie small.... can't really compare them to some of the tiny/skinny guys who are pure climbers though. Having godzilla quads makes you sprint really fast, but its not too much of an advantage when the terrain turns up though
