Ha if he can win even in that podgy state it sort of shows how good he will be when he gets to race weight come the summer.

Every bloody year, same ol' huffing and puffing about Cav's weight after the offy
And just like every other year, he'll be winning early
It is curious though.
That he wins so much despite looking less thin than his rivals.
It obviously doesn't mean anything but it's still curious.
Like Madasahattersley says, when you see him in the flesh (once he's into the season), he looks as lean as anything. He's got stumpy legs and a bit of a barrel-like upper body that the still camera just doesnt like - at all. Add to that a white jersey and the bands....
Not to jump to contusions but does “I’m not very interested in what Mark weighs right now. I’m interested in him winning the first stage of the Tour de France in England on July 5 and wearing the first yellow jersey,” mean he won't be in Belfast for the Giro?
Believe that a farther shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells

Might very well be, but it doesn't matter if he is .

I don't know. If it isn't going up Box Hill or in funny foreignish you people don't want to know.
Look at the number of riders missing the Tour so they can live out their childhood dreams of riding in a TTT through East Belfast.

It's quite possible. I think he's said that the Giro last year took it out of him and left him a little short at the Tour (he was also ill). There's no more unfinished business at the Giro and Kittel won't be doing it.
He doesnt look so fat because his arms are up. Do that in front of a mirror and see how many kilos it takes off. Its clear that he looks more overweight than usual. It doesnt really matter apart from an aesthetic point of view or as an example for the younger people. He never was your typical bike rider but there is no denying his talent, work ethic and interesting character.
Oi, that's what I weighg now. It's my winter bulking phase though....
I'm not fussed about what Cav weighs - he seems to be a naturally physically predisposed to putting weight on. It just makes it all the more remarkable that he can win GT stages (and climb high mountains in the process)
It's not awful. 76kg would give him a BMI of 24.8, which is only 0.5 higher than Kittel and Degenkolb if the heights and weights listed for them on Google are accurate.
I know BMI is a limited measure, and the inputs might be inaccurate, but it isn't exactly obese.
I reckon he will be firing on all cylinders and it will be wonderful.
"I always like to start strong, put a stamp on the start of the season and show everyone that I'm back. Not only for the rest of the world but also for me and the rest of the team as well. If I start strong I always have a good season. That's my objective, to have a really good season and then try and have a victory every month."

Won the stage though so puh.

If he does start, he certainly wont finish.

He has already lost 4kg

through a pillow fight?
Seeing the photo, shouldn't that be the "width" of the off-season?
That's really quite solid, given his height.

He's 5'9, thats not a bad weight

That is all.
