While his thighs are large they're not that big especially compared to other track sprinters. My main question on calves is, looking at other national/world cup sprinters, their calves appear strong enough to provide a stable platform to for the quads to push against?

At least that's how it works for me in my cafe racer/commuter noobish way. For me, having big calves means better power to the pedal without having to resort to either ankling or any other dubious "styles" of pedalling.

I just wonder if Bos is some sort of genetic freak, i.e., massively strong but gains muscle mass with difficulty.
