I think everyone knows my favorite rider is Valverde.
There are plenty of other riders I like well enough.

Alaphilippe, van Aert, van der Poel, Pogacar, Valverde, Roglic, Carapaz, Landa, Sagan, Bernal, Asgreen, Bernal, Dan Martin, Wellens, Quitana, Ewan, Ganna, Van Avermaet, Pidcock, Evenepoel, Nibali, Gilbert, Bouhanni, Naesen, Kristoff.
I concur, although Alaf is a coequal favorite. I like riders who give it their all every race.I gotta say I'm a big fan of most riders on that list. I decided to vote for only one of them and it's Mathieu van der Poel.
If I had to pick one outside that list it'd be Alaphilippe.
I find it weird that Van Aert and Alaphilippe are not on the list considering that they are two of the three best classics riders in the world. Anyway I voted for van der Poel and Evenepoel
