    Faster cyclists are more attractive, study says

    Successful professional cyclists are seen as more handsome than their struggling colleagues, according to new research.

    Women rated facial attractiveness among riders in the 2012 Tour de France, won by Britain's Sir Bradley Wiggins.

    The top 10% of performers were rated on average as 25% better looking than the laggards.

    The scientists conclude that humans have evolved to recognise athletic performance in faces.

    I will believe that research when the people making the choices bet money on their selections before the event.
