Who was 'writing him off'?
He's the best sprinter of his generation, and one of the best of all time, so it baffles belief that people still seem to think he's suddenly going to lose that. He may have lost a bit of weight but, frankly, he can afford to and more weight does not equal more power (if that was the case hippy would be reigning Tour winner).
