Is it his head or his metabolism?

    I know that everyone wants to be on the top step of the Podium but it takes a lot of good genetics to be the top guy.
    Tom should try to win shorter stage races and support other riders and put up with being paid good money as a super domestique. He is too fragile to be a leader.
    Another Jean Francois Bernard which to be honest; I would be chuffed as nuts being.
    Glass half full for sure. :D
    Be happy Tom. Stop stressing.

    Strange, because as JV is only 3 years older, he can't possibly be EskimoTom's father.

    I've read this article before, but one thing I could not understand then and I still cannot understand, is this...........


    How on earth can someone be 20% Eskimo/Scot/French/Martian?

    two parents=2 X 50%
    four grandparents= 4 X 25%
    eight great-grandparents= 8 X 12.5%



    So where on earth does the 20% come from? What strange genetic hybrid is he?
