looking at the womens podium why are the fastest DH women so big? Sh*t they are bigger than the guys with the exception of Peaty.
The winner on that podium severely ruptured her spleen last summer.....she was sedentary for several months.......she can't be back into top shape yet.

Might take her 18 months to fully recover and to make new fitness gains.....

is that a beer gut I spy? Am I in love? Apparently Moseley's mechanic replaces more parts on her bike than on any of the other riders he wrenches for. That's big boned to ya. I've seen her in person last year and she is about 5' 5 but stouter than me and I'm 5'10 190....

Female racers are not freaking Marzocchi girls. Female athletes, particularily ones which emphasis power, will weigh over 150lbs easily.

If Sabrina, Tracey, Tai lee are average looking girls...what do u make of Marla, April, Tara, Vanessa, Anne and Missy?

BTW size cannot be directly correlated to power.

Ahh let us not forget Nikki Gundex although i guess she is a XC girl now, and for those of you who been around long enough, Nichole Grant, wasen't all that fast save for a race or to, but not to bad to look at.

Yeah size has nothing to do with power output, and you could make the case it hurts when you talk power to weight ratio.
