What I thought you were a bit of a Samu Alberto fan also? :confused:

Yes I am and not only a bit:p in fact I'm spanish so it's normal.

But you have keep Alberto as a mainstream despite he didn't ride nothing this year, so is a recognition.
 
1: Being extremely fanning (this is a word! Look; I just wrote it) for only one or a few riders pretty much destroys what I love about cycling, which is the fact that everyone cheers for everyone. Sure; I have riders I cheer for (Danes and Saxoers and guys I just generally like for whatever reason being the top-ones) but it doesn't ruin my day if they don't win.

2: The term 'fanboy' is just totally sexist! Buuut... I have to admit it puts me in a pretty cool position; nobody can accuse me of fanboying! :D
Even though there have been people who seem to have been confused about my gender...
 
I voted against Sky- mainly because i don't want Wiggins to win the TDF, so therefore the Cadel mafia line up against them.

Froome 19 is a very good poster though- so i don't hate them all.

I am a Frank/ Andy, Gesink/ Kruiswijk/ Hoogerland, Vino/Inglinsky, Costa ( but not the rest of the portugese ), Rolland/ Voeckler/ Fedrigo- along with other Frenchies who chase stages, Sagan/ Velits, Cancellara/ Boonen/ Ballan, Freire, All Aussies, Kreuziger, Samu/ Alberto/ JROD/ Moreno/ Ventoso, Geraint/ EBH/ Froome, De Gendt, Scarponi, Nibali/ Moser/ Szmyd.

I probably forgot some people.

No option for Evans/Aussie fanboys?

I agree. Where is the Evans fanboy option? They would clearly be one of the most loyal fanboy groups which is lead by my great self. :D

I treat fanboys very friendly if this is implemented in a kind benevolent way as for instance jens_attacks or dlwsonicc do. But when one tries to elevate his riders by bashing the rest... It's unhealthy. But unfortunately there are a lot of suchlike forum members. And it has a little to do with who exactly someone supports.
