[hrotha]

Marchante, Cobo.

 

[Arnout]

Anton.

His name is too short for this forum.

 

[Tom T.]

What's a Spanian?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

anton, j-rod and sanchez are pretty close i think.

 

[caça-foice]

Daniel Navarro did a great work at this year TDF.

 

[Parrulo]

from the poll option my choice is samu.

from all the spanish guys the OP forgot. anton.

 

[mr. tibbs]

I like Samu for this one, though I may be biased b/c of his excellent downhill skills, too. Which shouldn't be considered for this poll, I guess.

 

[Arnout]

How can you include LL Sanchez by the way? I can think of 10 better Spanish climbers.

From all the mistakes ive seen on polls, this takes the cake. Once again, you have 10 options. Try not to just put the first 3 people that jump into your head

But to have Luis Leon Sanchez there. I mean, My god.

Ever heard of Mosquera? Decent climber, only won the Bola del Mundo this year.

Igor Anton? He can climb too. Won a stage or 2 at the Vuelta this year.

Carlos Sastre? I know few people have heard of him but believe it or not he actually WON the Tour de France. Yes shocking isnt it

Valverde? He won the Vuelta and LBL a few times. Hes a teammate of LLS so you might just have heard of him.

(many others)
Its easier to count the spaniards who are worse climbers than LLS. Umm Freire, Flecha, who else

Yes i know, there are many, i was exagerating, obviously

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Of the options given, it probably is Samu. But there are some better Spanish climbers missing.

 

[jsem94]

outa the ones that we can vote for up there, samu for sure

 

[Digger]

Up until July it would have been the cow that Contador ate. What an animal.

How is Luis Leon Sanchez even in this poll?

There's at least 15 spanish riders who climb better than him. LL Sanchez get's to high GC classifications using long flights after he already lost an immense sh.tload of time on any serious first mountain stage.

 

[Altitude]

The answer is Ezequiel Mosquera, but he's not an option.

Don't post anymore climbing polls, you're ruining my little series.
