I'm guessing that this fellow has neither ridden a bicycle for any
serious distance, nor taken a serious hit.
If the likes of Ricky Williams were as good as Lance Armstrong at
cycling, we would reasonably expect many more athletes of their body
type and training regimen in that sport. The fact that we don't says
something about the peculiar demands of cycling at the elite
level--just as the build of an olympic swimmer, or champion boxer, or
gymnast tells us about the peculiar demands of their own sports.
