After exploring the topic "Do great cyclists have big bellies?" I found that the answer is generally no. Great cyclists typically have lean bodies, including flat stomachs, due to high-intensity cardio workouts that cycling provides. Their diet is also closely monitored to maintain an optimal weight for performance. However, like anyone else, if they overeat or consume high calorie foods without enough exercise, they can gain weight. So, while there may be exceptions, the stereotype of a cyclist with a big belly is far from the norm.
