I agree---give them a year's supply of Oreo Doublestuffs and some Reese's Peanut Butter cups. Remember those Charles Atlas ads in comic books (or maybe it was Mad Magazine) back in the 70s? Those fellows look like the poor guy who got sand kicked in his face by the big hunk at the beach.

Apparntly how much you weigh makes a HUGE difference, I learned while reading "Lance Armstrong's War."

If they're this skinny now - Imagine what they'll look like after the Tour!

Weight makes a difference of course but a lot of it is psychological. The way racers look at each other and talk about each other (the famous Lance 'Jan is 10 lbs overweight" is clearly intended at crushing the guy's spirit!)... they are really sensitive to weight. Some of it is founded in actual effects on the road, the rest is strategy!!

I realize they eat tons of food. Not much fat to go around there!

I'd say they still look better then chunky porkers (sorry) who stick their knees out and you cannot see thier handlebars behind thier backs. I am not being very politically correct.

Yikes. If you're not going to eat a banana split, then put some clothes on. Ick. Personally, I like guys with a bigger upper body. I don't find the wispy, shall we say, torso and arms at all attractive. I don't want to worry that I might crush them with a hug!
