Chris Froome | Too skinny to win Tour De France 2017?

Is being skinny enough to make you fast?

When the garden hoses are poppin', you know you're ready to compete, but if you haven't got the next-level recovery, you don't stand a chance.

No you just need a bunch of TUE's

I believe there's only two absolute truths in this Universe which god isn't one:

1. Isaac Newton Third Law of Motion- for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.

2. The Process aka you reap what you sow.

You seem to use lean and weight interchangeably, they aren't the same at all. You could have borderline chubby 5ft person smash you on climbs because they are half your size (and close to have your weight) Felt like a click bait... Do you have to be as lean as froome to win? Obviously not by looking at all the past winners. Are they on the juice? They are on tomorrow juice, what's illegal next year is probably the stuff they are on now...
I personally think they probably take stuff to get to those weight and to recover as fast as they do, do they take things for strength? Hard to say.
