Oh dont get me wrong I am not saying that I wont ever be able to get up there with them but it is just going to take alot more time. The guys up front put in the time and they deserve to be where they are, I was just wondering if the whole thinking of "Lighter is better" when it comes to cycling still holds true even when it comes to extreme flats. I mean as strong of a rider as guys like Contador are if you put them in the Velo against someone like Chris Hoy then Contador will clearly be at a complete disadvantage.
