The most handsome man in the peloton

[Lurkerman]

Who do you find to be the most handsome, beautiful man in the professional male peloton?

IMO it's Giulio Ciccone, and I don't see how it's particularly close either. A lot of the younger riders enter the professional peloton with a beautiful, boyish look to them, but I don't rate that all, what's matters is what kind of beautiful and mature man are you growing into as you approach or enter your thirties. Ciccone is the man for whom you can rest assured that his PCS picture for the next year is always going to be even better than the one from the current year, and that's a special skill which sets him apart from the rest of the peloton. However, I could be overrating him due to how he's a star in the sport who is a lot on TV in the big races, and so I'm very interested to hear your takes to see if there are other handsome but more modest racers who I then need to start paying more attention to.

I think Van Aert and Ganna are usually seen as pretty boys.

Also Johnny Milan. I guess the skinny climber boys are more of an acquired taste? Valentin Paret-Peintre is fascinating more than attractive to me, but once we reach the good GC rider range (Vingo, Pog, etc.) I'm perfectly on board.

Wout is a good shout, there is a certain tortured, melancholic beauty to him, residing in the heaviness of those thick, black eyebrows.

How is this different than a BoB thread?

I wouldn't mind looking like MVDP. Most of the rest of 'em are too damn tiny...

Roglič and WvA.

I think the answer has to be Taylor phinney because he swung Kasia

the first challenger appears.

@tobydawq @Netserk @Tim Cahill @devils elbow @Samamba answer the damn question!!

Specifically, it's Tom Dumoulin looking like a film star in the background of Sepp Kuss getting injured on the last mountain stage of the 2023 tour. Remember thinking who the *** is that get him on the big screen.

Was he filming an episode of Miami Vice?

Road cyclists nearly always specialize.

Dumoulin has the chin, stubble and hair.
Van Aert has the jaws and hair
Roglic has the cheekbones.

Apart from Ganna.

Ganna has everything.

You wouldn't be into this then, right?
