Why Tour de France winner Chris Froome has a perfect body for cycling

Source: Business Insider
British cyclist Chris Froome of Team Sky has done it again. On July 23, he pedaled his way through Paris to win his fourth Tour de France, 54 seconds ahead of Colombian Rigoberto Urán.

Froome has joined the ranks of the most elite cyclists ever — only four other riders have won four or more Tours. He has also worn the yellow jersey donned by the race's leader for more days than all but three other competitors.

As for what makes Froome so good, there's a long list of factors, including training, mindset, talent, determination, and an excellent team.

But along with that, Froome has an ideal physiology for a cyclist — likely the product of his genetics and careful physical effort.Skye Gould/Business InsiderFroome is 6'1" and at the time of the 2015 Tour (his wins have been in 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017), he reported that he'd gotten his race weight down to a remarkably low 147 pounds. He attributed his weight loss to a strict diet that had him cut back on carbs in favor of protein.
