Since there is a minimum weight restriction on the bikes themselves,
what body parts do not have a functional or minimally functional
purpose and could be removed in the obsession for lighter weight?
Testicles (at least one)?, appendix?, gall bladder? spleen?, one
kidney? what else? Could you save 2-3 kg?

I don't know what would work for most people, but I think _you_ could
cut off your head....

Off the top of my head I don't recall the names but one team leader lost a
toe and demanded that his #1 domestique have the same toe amputated, which
he did. Worth maybe 3 ounces?

If Santiago Botero shaved his arm hair he might shed a few pounds.

Speaking of which, does the UCI require you to wear a helmet if
you already have one naturally:

Cut off the ears. They are bad for aerodynamics too.

Both pinky fingers, though they do come in handy on cobblestones.

You don't need teeth but the domestiques might have to open your power
bars for you.

Who needs nipples.

Pinky toes, gone, makes for a pointier shoe and better aerodynamics.

I would also suggest a special corset that smashes you from the sides
and narrows your waist. Making you thicker front to back but reducing
your drag.

I'm keeping my pecker. I need it for individual pursuit, among other
events.

Don't worry, it doesn't account for that much weight anyway.

You might think you're funny now, but the results of that brand of
cruelty are pretty ugly. People used to say that kind of thing to
Lafferty, and see what happened to him? Major issues, I hear.

It would remove 12 lbs of ugly fat.

Yes, but his gets heavier when he sees pictures of tammy.

Botero shaves his arms twice a day. Doesn't help.

I suffer from chronic morning thickness.
