I think Van Aert is more stylish than MvdP overall. The later is great when he attacks out of the saddle, but overall Wout looks more elegante and just smoother on his bike. My father compared MvdP's position to a crouched big cat, ready to strike (throw in a crazy acceleration out of the saddle) at any moment. Kämna is another rider who looks smooth on his bike.Maybe Mauri has the core engine to keep going 2 days straight but simply lacks the watts to follow the others. Hence by rocking his entire body and using all muscle groups, he is able to put more power onto his pedals, while he won't get tired. I kid. He is the lovechild that came of Pierre Latour, Mollema and Schachmann's illegal love triangle.
I think Van Aert is a very stylish rider. I also like Evenepoel when he is in "on-a-mission" mode.

Can't say i agree. I understand if you are specifically talking about his out of the saddle accelerations, because they look so smooth and effortless, but my back starts to hurt just looking at him when he is in the saddle. Personally i'm more in the "coalminer" camp.From the current crop of riders, I like Pogačar's style. Strong, fast, and efficient.

I remember my brother was a real fanboy of him. He also had a particular style descending.This guy oozed class when climbing

With Ganna it's mainly on the TT bike, otherwise it's nothing to brag about.Ganna
Van Baarle
Dumoulin
Bettiol
Yates (nice style of attack)
Evenepoel (when in pocket tt mode)
Mohoric
naming Landa is just fanboyism I believe. He got a proper style, but nothing special.
That’s one reason I’ve been a Landista, despite the inevitable heartache.Tom Dumoulin and Mikel Landa are the best examples of pedaleur de charme I’ve seen in this era.
Fabbro and Lutsenko. Fabbro doesn't get talked about a lot and almost purely used as a helper, but he's an amazing rider. Lutsenko's attacking/ riding style is beauty.
Indurain did that, it's super cool. I do it too. And BR2 is right, Lutsenko is the most stylish.I still think Lutsenko looks so weird when he sits down after standing in the pedals. He very often takes a second where he doesn't pedal during that transition. I noticed that first during the 2013 Tour, and still notice it. I have never seen any other rider do it. It doesn't look particularly efficient.
