That's 170cm and 72 kilos.
Riders are a bit taller and skinnier than you guessed!

Here's roughly scaled comparison pics of the body size extremes. Look at the difference in calf length between Dumoulin and Auger.
Amazing also to think that is Rujano rides next year the lightest rider will be 49 kilos/108lbs!
