Women racers

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I have noticed many of the top pro men are very small and skinny, while the top women tend to be larger in build. Why is there a difference in body type for men and women? In comparison women distance runners are identical in body type to there male counterparts. Both the men and women are very lean, I don’t think I have ever seen a “thick” professional marathon runner.

i totally agree but unfortunatelly i dont know the answer :)
