Cycling unfair to big guys?

Hi,

It's a question that I've had for a while. What advantages do big guys have over skinny guys in cycling?

1. climbing - no
2. Flats - I would think no.
3. TT - I would think no again. Plenty of good skinny TTists.
4. Sprinting - Not sure. Plenty of good skinny sprinters too.
5. Descents - Perhaps, but it hardly makes up for the time lost while climbing.

So is cycling as a sport unfair to the big guys?
