Very true, but Jan's problem always seemed to be losing the extra pounds, not just having the muscle. For the amount of muscle he has, he has incredible power, and sticking in those big gears and churning those pedals he just hauls major butt up those hills. Sure, it's always good to be small, but if you're gonna be a big guy, shave off the fat and work on building power to produce the wins. I don't think Jan is weak by any means in the mountains because he's such a big guy as much as that he had too much fat on top of the muscle he already has to haul all that extra flesh over the Alps.
He's all good in my book.
