Grand Tours are usually a large-scale sample of the professional cycling world. At the 2024 Giro d'Italia, we take a some statistics that emerge from the peloton in terms of their physical attributes.
According to ProCyclingStats, the average weight of the 176 riders that have started the 2024 Giro d'Italia is 68.6Kg. This makes for an average that is not too below actually of the average of the regular male person. Of these, Jonathan Milan is the heaviest rider at the start of the race with 84Kg whilst Matteo Fabbro is the lightest at just 52.
The average height of the peloton is 1.81 meters, again the average for a regular European individual. The tallest rider in the peloton is 1.99 meters tall and the shortest is 1.64 meters.
Outside of that, we've also got the age, where the average was of 27.98. This is the first time since the year 2000 that the average is below the age of 28, and signals the clear trend in the peloton where teams put more and more focus into their young riders. VF Group - Bardiani CSF - Faizanè duo Giulio Pellizzari and Domenico Pozzovivo are the youngest and oldest participants with 20 and 41 years of age respectively.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
