People these days talk about motors and forget how many WTF moments we had with peak Cancellara. In fact motor doping gained popularity thanks to Cancellara. A true powerhorse, I can't imagine how great he would be in this era.
when we talk about power, Cancellara is the most powerful rider I ever saw, a true watts machine.

That one is so memorable. Was with the family in Riccione and watched every stage of the Tour at the hotel terrace. The complete crack and then the comeback the day after. Classic at comparative level as Ben Johnsson winning 100 metres in the Olympics

TBF, if Carl Lewis wasn't in the race it wouldn't look so bad for Johnson. But Lewis failed multiple dope tests also.

That day was beyond belief. Definitely a perfect candidate for this thread. Even on the Joux-Plane climbers like Carlos Sastre hardly made a dent on Floyd's lead.

When he was busted for testosterone Floyd's manager first claimed testosterone doesn't give you a boost for the aerobic demands of road racing. But a friend who I was riding with back then immediately cried BS. My friend was prescribed patches by his doctor for a condition and he said when he used them he had a huge power boost when climbing.

Also boosts HTC, some powerlifters and bodybuilders go donating blood to keep their blood from getting too thick.

I would say Pogacar takes the first 10 spots. The guy is ridiculous and his whole act makes me sick. He's playing the good guy, but his mask will fall off sooner or later. That stage he lost to Vingegaard in the last TDF showed to me what a clown he is. Getting on stage stuffing his mouth full with candy "look at me, I ran out of fuel". Yeah, what fuel.

UAE did a great job in terms of propaganda around him. They did a great job, especially on social media.
