so for those of you who didn't see wout's post stage interview, he made an interesting comment about Sepp's weight, essentially about the idea of Sepp being 60 kgs and doing such an incredible pull to close the gap on stage 7.
this is actually insane. for those of you who don't know, Sepp currently weighs 61 kgs (134 lbs) and is 1.82 meters tall (essentially 6 feet). For context, Remco Evenepoel is the same weight and is 1.71 meters tall (5 feet 7 inches). For more context, super domestique Wout is 0.08 meters taller than Sepp (about 1 or 2 inches), but weighs 78 kgs (171 lbs). For more context, as a fairly in shape person but non professional cyclist, I am 1.57 meters (5 feet, 2 inches) tall and weigh about 57 kgs (126 lbs).
Reminder that last year, Sepp was also a super domestique, and was likely a similar weight to Wout. His job was blocking the wind for Jonas and Primoz. However, now he's expected to be at the weight of a GC contender, despite being the height of a super domestique.
Overall, this just makes me really really worried about his health. Especially looking at the fact that he has been suffering really badly from the effects of getting covid in May/June, and I wonder if there's some correlation with this drastic weight loss.
TO BE CLEAR: I know Sepp is a professional athlete, and I know that VLaB has the best nutritionists keeping an eye on his health and recovery. However, it is nearly impossible for me to imagine a healthy way to drop that much weight, particularly considering the difference between his previous race weight and now.
AND WOUT IN RED!!!!♥️♥️♥️
omfg what a beautiful day
I've been trying to figure this out and I'm still confused. Why wasn't Fernando Alsono's crash in Australia 25 a red flag?
There was a car ON TRACK that couldn't get itself off without a crane and the crane/tow truck had to be on track??? And then there were other drivers right next to it? Why risk that?
