Good luck to him

I knew the name reminded me something, but it took awhile: Joe Shlabotnik, Charlie Brown's hero. I hope Joe D's career is more successful. 6'2"' 140 lbs?

He makes me look big. I'm 6'0" and 165. Wonder if I could intimidate him?

I'm about his height, but usually weigh 165 +/-5lbs. My wife has been complaining that I look too skinny, I can't imagine what 140 would be like.

Did anyone else...

...get distracted by all of the typos and other mistakes in that article?

Regardless, there is one major flaw, the choice of World Champions as examples. One-day events like the worlds are typically won by good all-rounders or sprinters, who tend to be bigger and more muscular than a typical Grand Tour winner. If you were to look at a broader range of road cycling disciplines, average rider weights would drop significantly.
