As others have asked, are you long legs, short torso, or visa versa? If the former, a 61 cm Cervelo might be on the biggish side. I'm 6'2 with fairly long legs, and I ride a 58 cm bike that has a 57 cm tob tube, compared to the 58 cm tob tube of the Soloist. Bike shops always tell me I need a 60-61, but anything with a 59+ top tube is getting long(ish).

If you want a comparison to the CSC pros of similar height, these guys all ride a 58. No CSC rider needs a 61:

Cancellera (186 cm)
Johansen (188 cm)
Ljunqvist (189 cm)
Schleck bros. (186 cm)
Voigt (192 cm) (he's a bit of an outlier)
