TdF rider weights...

I did an average of 15 weights (those available) from top 20 riders in the GC.

What do you reckon?   :)

For GC agreed.

For sprinters:

Kittel
Greipel 82kg at 1.84m
Cavendish 70kg at 1.75m

Climbers:

Quintana 59kg at 1.67m
Cheatador 62kg at 1.76
Froome 69kg at 1.86m
Porte 62kg at 1.72m

According to official Tour programme.

So horses for courses, as they say.

I heard Cav say he was making 1500 Watts in the sprint on Sunday ("I usually win by a long way when I make 1500 W")

So I need to make around 2200 Watts then...I can see why they turn to steroids.
