Okay, maybe he's not the fat one. That infamous Chicken shot now has competition...

They should be getting back to double meals now

At the Tour they are running at around 3-4% body fat so they can go uphill like motos

This is how we like our climbers - must be thin to be light and able to climb tall mountains

Aha! Then since Andy was demonstrably faster on the mountains this year...

we’re back to Frank being the fat one after all. Note that Andy isn’t posting shirtless pictures of himself.

The Chicken is WAY worse

I dont even think there is a comparison. Heck minus the tan and knowing who it is he could pass as a long distance runner.

That looks like

a couple of ghostly hands are trying to tickle him.

If I was making a POW film

I’d look no further than the peloton for my extras.

Frank vs. Rasmussen

Schleck usually carries more weight (typically listed 64-67 kg), but said in a post-Tour interview that he weighs 61 kg right now. Depending on source, he’s listed as 185-186 cm tall.

Rasmussen is considerably shorter (174-175 cm) and his weight was listed at just a little less: 59-60 kg. Not that you can always trust “official” stats, but if that’s even close Frank is certainly comparable, if not actually skinnier.

Me, I just thought Frank’s arms looked scary thin in that picture, and like you could break his ankles with your bare hands.
