First about Indurain:
Indurain rode only one WC and won it. He rode one Olympics and aslo won it. He won 8 out of 10 TT's in his reigning Tour de France period 1991-1995. That two he had lost were at the very end of the race where he was many minutes ahead of oppostion, so he probably eased up...
Yes I will say Indurain. He won the biggest races in the world by demolishing people in this discipline, and he did that over and over again.
Coppi, Merckx, Hinault, and Anquetil and Cancellara of course. Maybe Moser too.
Yep, looks a lot like Valverde. He even won Emilia yesterday like Valverde would, he waited and waited, then late surge, and then final sprint. Although endurance is not there yet, and Valverde had that from day one.
