Conor Dunne and Esteban Chaves just before the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race in Australia overnight.
He's the big man for Ireland and now Aqua Blue Sport and deadly in the breakaways, and his new buddy is one of the best climbers and stage race riders in the world.
So when the exceedingly tall Conor Dunne met the diminutive Esteban Chaves at the start of the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race there was only one thing for it; to get the obligatory smallest and tallest season-starting photos out of the way.
Dunne is a gentleman and Chaves seems to be cut from the same cloth, with a smile painted onto his face even when he hasn't had a good day in the saddle.
Dunne is a very tall guy; at 6' 8" - his height has been reported a lot as 6' 9" and we've even seen reports claiming he is 6' 10".

But we've checked with him and 6' 8" it is.
Chaves is 5' 4" and he weighs 54kg to Dunne's 88kg. Both are great riders and were good sports to get a 'little and large' photo done.
