You can never be too small or too light to be a roadracer . . .

Should treat those guys like jockies and load them up so they all weigh the same.

Are the bikes and riders weighed together or separately? Does MotoGP have a rider/bike minimum?

50lbs is a huge weight advantage/disadvantage.

Re: I thought I was little and skinny
I bet Pedrosa doesn't get in Kenny Roberts' face. I think K.R. said that he weighed 185.

That is huge compared to these other guys.

He looks a lot thinner now than when he was here in AMA (kind of got porky looking toward the end). Now in MotorGP every pound counts.

It's really not that hard. Most people, even fit ones, could lose 10-20 pounds without too much trouble if they were fully dedicated.

A friend is really into bodybuilding, looks big (like 18" arms) at ~5'9" and 160-165 or so when he gets his bodyfat down into the 5% range.

10 lbs is easy. 20% of your body weight is not.

yeah both of them would be hard for me. 10lbs, done that one time a few years ago when I was pretty sick (doctors didn't even know what was really wrong with me so my friends named it Brett's Disease). 20-25lbs (20%) I'd be anorexic.

I am 6'5" and between 1994 and 1997 weighed in at a whopping 160 to 162. Had enough muscles to move around too . . . .
