And I bet he would leave you in the dust with those calves 
Then, you can get a bumper sticker that says: "I was beaten by a chicken, climbing Alpe d'Huez"

Weight training fails so many of us. Do they have calves transplants. And would it make climbing easier?

Ok, are there any good head on shots of guys sprinting which show the frame actually flexing laterally? It would have to be pretty much dead on straight, with the front wheel perfectly straight. I'm thinking newer bikes might be too stiff? Maybe older shots of racers?
