Pozzato. He's a really good and strong rider, but he wasn't able to win the real big races in the last couple of years, although he was always a favorite.
This sounds an awful lot like George Hincapie. Only Pozzato has actually won a monument - Milan San Remo in 2006. For as much as he was hyped up to do so, Hincapie never won a monument and barely came close - in his 18 yrs as a pro he can count two podiums in monuments - a 2nd in Roubaix and a 3rd in Flanders.
In fact at 23yrs old you could say EBH's palmares are better than Hincapie's at 37. So, as much as I do like him, I'll vote Hincapie - most over hyped current pro. At least as far as english cycling media is concerned.
I'm looking forward to when he retires so I don't have to hear how "he's a major threat to win Roubaix" ever again.
