By “top cyclists” I imagine you mean the guys who compete in very long road races. Not BMX riders, not mountain bikers, and definitely not this guy?
Most serious cyclists have big muscles, and they did for a long time on the Tour de France too, it’s only in recent years that they’ve optimized so much for their particular niche that they’ve shed every possible gram of weight.
