I've often wondered how tall you have to be to ride the Tour of Denmark..

What's the average size of a TOD?

i meant, TDF.

5'10" / 5'11" I'd expect.

Height is not so much of indicator of ability as it would be in sports such as rugby or basketball, there are pro riders from 5'4" to 6'10".

is Fabian Cancellara's dominance in time trials is due to height.
