London 2012 Olympics: New Zealand Cyclist Robert Forstemann Shows Off Monster thighs (PICTURE)

Thigh’s The Limit

Britain's Chris Hoy may have earned the moniker “Golden Thighs” for his 27 inch limbs, but these specimens are truly eye-watering.

The owner of the bulging pair on the right is German cyclist Robert Forstemann, who posed up alongside fellow compatriot Andre Greipel.

Aye carumba: Robert Forstemann (left) wins this 'quad off' against Andre Greipel hands down

New Zealand cyclist Greg Henderson documented the “quad off” on his Twitter feed, noting: “You thought Greipel has a big set of legs…”

And judging by those tan lines, Forstemann has either been on a spray tan binge or is training in only the briefest of briefs. More tea vicar?
