Debate has raged as who would be, by weight, the strongest rider. This unique handicap has been one that bucks the trend of dieticians all around the world. The handicap has been by weight, whereby you are rewarded with a better starting position the heavier you are. Changes were made in 2010 to incorporate our shorter statured fat riders to ensure our fatmans wheelrace was reserved for those of high fat content rather than those big tall guys of high percentile muscle content. So again in 2018 the qualification will be on BMI (Body Mass Index). This should aid our short podgy friends. Here’s how it works • Entrants will be measured at the velodrome. • Entrant’s weigh-in will be done in cycling race clothing with no shoes. A pat down will take place for any contraband (extra weight). • Your height and weight will be entered into the laptop to determine your BMI. • The top 10 BMI’s will qualify for the race. • The lowest BMI will start at 0m • The highest BMI will start at 130m • Everyone else will start at corresponding marks determined by the above formula on % The Race The event itself will be in a 1km Handicap. Riders must provide their own sturdy handler for the start. The winner of the race will receive • Your weight in $1 coins i.e. 105kg = $105 • Personalised Sport Nutrition Plan from Apple to Zucchini • Perpetual Fat-Mans Trophy 2017 FAT-Mans Wheel Race 1 Mick Marshall 110kg 2 Mathew Hynes 3 David Och 4 Luke O'Callaghan (https://rlv.zcache.com/fat_cyclist_poster-rf7bebea5d4144da29c96f9fb441e9af9_ihx0n_8byvr_324.jpg) So who will be determined the Fat-Mans Champion for 2018?
