Not exactly the stats of someone built. As other people have mentioned, a lot of pros look like they have large legs in relation to their upper bodies, which is heightened by tone/definition.
Just for sh*ts and giggles:
58kg/168cm=.35
Take someone of Boonen/Hushovd's size:
81kg/190cm=.43
And for perspective ol' Mr. Prison Camp himself Rasmussen:
60kg/175cm=.34
And, hey why not - an average NFL player
111kg/187cm=.6
In sum, Bettini is still skinny...although I think those weight numbers may be low for him or high for Rasmussen
