Just one? Ok, how about Lance Armstrong? 176 pounds pre-cancer, won majority of races in breakaways and sprints. After cancer, 158 pounds and rarely won sprints. Admits in interviews and books that he lost sprinting power with the weight and muscle loss.

And you say the forces are low, but few people can actually spin 53x11 on flat ground. But it doesn't take much muscle power... hmm.
