It takes big arteries and veins and lots of them to carry enough oxygenated blood to all those muscle cells for energy to keep those muscles going.

This is what "getting in shape" actually means. Building up your circulatory system to handle the energy demands.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

In 1996, I rode BRAN (Bicycle Ride Across Nebraska, 500+ miles in six days). When I got home, my wife's first comment was about my legs.

Of course, they didn't look exactly like that, but the underwent something of a change.

I saw the TdF in 2005 and saw Jan Ulrich, the Germany. He was pretty trim up top and his waist pretty small, but his quads and calves were huge - and sunburnt. Three weeks of 100+ miles per day (minus time trials) will give you quite a workout. Not to mention the thousands of training miles. Yikes

I understand the big muscles and big blood vessels.

But why are his feet blue?

My guess is they probably jam their feet into the those little bike shoes so tight to keep from slipping out.

I don't think his feet are really blue just crazy lighting. Guess his percentage body fat? -0.000

I went to a fairly high caliber bike race but not pros that had RVs. After the race one of the riders changed his clothes while standing behind his car. Didn't give a crap about having nothing on for a few seconds. His butt look like something alien. No fat at all just striated muscles.

Actually, no. They aren't kept that tight at all. They're no tighter than your average running shoe would be in any case. His feet are just super pale and in the sun light of the tinted bus window.

And no, that is not an indication of doping. It's really not that unusual.
