My Take

Steve Cummings fascinates me precisely because he was the wrong shape for his sport. At 190 cm, cycling logic says he should never have thrived, yet he raced both track and road at the highest level, which speaks to extraordinary engine power and tactical intelligence. I have always loved athletes who beat physical disadvantage with brains, and Cummings strikes me as exactly that type: the rider who reads a race, calculates the gap and times the decisive move rather than simply out-muscling rivals. There is a connoisseur's pleasure in watching someone like him win on cunning. I find his story far more compelling than any pure sprinter's.
