I was watching the Santa Cruz test vids with Peaty and Minnar on vital. They talked about sizing and things and that they could just about ride the same size frame, and that go me thinking. I knew both were rather tall but how tall are most guys on the WC. Did a quick search and could only fine those two and the athertons and the 4 of them are all between 6' 1" and 6' 4". Is this a pretty average sampling of the top WC racers?
How tall is the average WC racer?

Around here. a guy like Herndon is a freak of nature in terms of height, but he also applied himself to gain lots of muscle a few years back. Geritt and him have been training together with Carmichael Training Systems here in Asheville (I should get a free session for plugging that company). But are completely different body types with Herndon being crazy tall and Geritt being pretty powerful. It would be interesting to hear one of those two weigh in on what kind of strength/power/explosiveness tests or data that different body types are capable of.
Rennie told me one time that Kovarik had the worst power output measured at their Olympic training center of anybody on their Worlds team. He's about 6' and has calves that have their own zip codes.
