A quick glance at the scale from about age 17 on was all I needed to know I wasn't TdeF material. I once read that no one on the Tour weighed more than 2.2 lbs per inch of height. And those guys were the sprinters. At 17 I would have had to weigh no more than 154 lbs. Even at my best football QB weight I was never below 175 lbs.
