Which pro are you most like?
On this page:
https://www.letour.fr/2005/TDF/LIVE/u.../coureurs.html
Is a list of the date of birth, height and weight of all the pros that rode in the tdf this year (well, some are missing info, but most are here).
Going through all the riders, which are you closest to on D.O.B, height and weight?
I'm 16/05/74, 185cm and 67 kilos. My closest pro is....
42 - AERTS Mario (BEL)
Born in 31/12/1974 à Herentals (BEL)
Height : 1.8 m
Weight : 67 kg
Aerts rides for Davitamom-Lotto, and won Grand Prix d'Ijsbergues in '96, Circuit Franco-Belge in '97, Tour de la Province de Lucca in 2001 and La Flèche Wallonne in 2002.

Magnus Backstedt...90.7kg and 1.9m...Paris-Roubaix...
Birthday...Armstrong...his is a week before mine.
Too many to do a search.
I still find it interesting that Rous wore 141 for Bouygues Telekom rather than Voeckler.

Same birthday. August 19th
He 5'9 156 lbs
Me 5'9 150 lbs
I'm gonna go buy a Euskatel kit and Orbea now...

Lance Armstrong:
His birthday is nine days before mine.
We are almost identical in height/weight.
We both come from states that begin with the letter T.
and that pretty much ends the comparisons right there

Eki (although I realize he did not ride in this year's TdF due to injury). We're about the same age and size.

August 19th here, as well. Not a very good fit though, since I'm 6'2" and 215#. Plus I have a few more years under my belt than Mayo.

Me:
June 24, 1979
1.72 m
64 kg
wears Discovery jersey (paid for it)
Popovych:
Jan 4, 1980
1.75 m
64 kg
wears Discovery jersey (paid for it)
Of course, the similarity ends there, and even the "paid for it" means completely different things for the two of us.

Any rider who is good not great in a sprint, punches a big hole in the wind on the flats, and is something awful uphill.
