Ferrari said I'm too fat ;)
Jokes aside I'm 2Kg more offseason than I was when racing last season in my top form.

It doesn't matter a lot at this part of the season, but as the bigger races on the calendar comes along it is almost vital to be at the right weight for riders on Kasparz's level.

I am 3-4 kg above my raceweight at the moment, but I could never dream of maintaining that weight over a longer period of time. It wouldn't be healthy for me.

You must be snowed in hence the numerous posts in a short period of time.
