Pft... I have 705 000 feet / 215 000 metres so far this year
I may be a joke though! Haha.
An actually intersting article over at velosnooze, or maybe it's just that I have lingering love for Devolder given that he was responsible for one of my greatests ever cycling betting coups (48-1 at the Ronde 2008).

Remember when Armstrong was touting him for a TdF?

I'm amazed Radioshack is able to even continue.

I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree
Linking wikipedia pages is fun! 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jockey
"The average weight for a jockey is around 115 lb (52 kg)"
Is there any pro bike rider with that weight? Even Purito is heavier than that.

I came to think of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domenico_Pozzovivo. Not far off!

Too much power? 
Seen Phinney in person and he is definitely not 6 feet 5.
Cyclist stats often seem made up. I'm 6 foot 2 and TP is barely taller if at all. I also have a hard time believing weights as there is no way Hushovd weighed 15lbs more than I do.
How much longer is Farrar contracted for? Just wondering how long it'll take before they push him down a few pegs against competition where he can actually win.

Yes they are...
I remember meeting Jan Ulrich in march 2002. The press was calling him fat... yet I was looking at a guy who looked like he hadn't eaten in years
I guess he looked a bit healthier than Ricco/Chicken, but the whole hooplah about his overweight was bogus.
