You don't really see body builders that pick up road cycling, heck you don't see huge track cyclists on the road or winning a tour de france stage. This is an endurance sport, very similar to distance running and open water swimming. There really aren't any huge endurance athletes that are extremely successful. Now sprinting, is a race won in the weight room.
