And fries! Yeah, I know - they're bike racers, they're supposed to be skinny, but.......geez. It looks like the only one with a bit of meat on his bones is Thor Hushovd (Thor will smash!)

Why do you think they have such eating disorders and other health problems later in life? Sheesh. You ever seen a skinny old retired pro cyclist?

I love the tan lines.
I won't show this to my SO, he'll start worry about getting fat again...

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!

I had noticed that Lance looked like he had put on some weight - which was good. Perhaps Al Gore has had a few too many cheeseburgers.

Indeed: I have see Al Gore at UBC about a month ago and instantly thought he should have arrived on a bike, not in the university president's Prius (hybrid car).

I think it would be interesting to see these guys compete at a normal, healthy weight.

OMG, that was the funniest blog ever ! Do you have the link, snap? I hope he does it again. Originally Posted by snapdragen

He was a Thor Hushovd fan and practically every entry included the chant THOR WILL SMASH.
Anyhoo, I think that was story.
