You would think alot of these higher end up racing type guys would know how to train their body....they don't. lol
Is Greg White a racer? I thought he was just a tv commentator. The good racers are all fit--but they have to stay very light to keep the weight of the overall package down. Last I read Hayden was the heaviest in the paddock at 155. Rossi is 5'11 and 135; Pedrosa 5'2 & 105.

Where'd you get those numbers from?

I know Rossi is skinny but I didn't think he was THAT skinny.

Was a few years ago. At Laguna a few years back he was a STICK. Weights change.

He races WERA, not AMA. I think he said he is around 190-195 now.
