I agree with your sentiment Colm, but some of these guys are very tall and not particularly overweight.
Elite riders are a tough benchmark for amateurs who haven't had the same training history and are unlikely to have the genetic ability coupled with a full time training lifestyle to shape their physique in the same way. It's an understandable comparison, but unrealistic.
I'm not sure how many elites are the same height as Paul, maybe that Spanish guy only and I bet he's more than 95kg!
I have no excuse, I'm fat and old and need to drop 5kg.
