Leading on from cougie's Cav height thread (sort of) who are the tallest and the shortest men to have ridden with a pro license?

    Of the current riders I'd guess Samuel Dumolin's the smallest (5' 2 ?) and Johan Van Summeren is the tallest (6' 6 ?).

    Ondrej Sosenka, the now banned hour record holder, is 6' 7

    Actually, the other day I met Karl-Heinz Kunde, the shortest rider ever to wear the yellow jersey (5'2", 1964, five days) in his bike shop here in Cologne.

    Miserable bugger wouldn't let me try out the new Campag Ergopower levers he had on a bike in the shop.
    Cheers,
