ACF's fan crush >>>> Bavarianrider's fan crush.

I don't know, lately it's been the other way around.

The only thing we have still to kill in ACF is his hate for VDB2.

I think Degenkolb is a tad better also, both awesome talents tho.
I don't really understand the programme that the Rabo experts have figured out for Bling: he rides mostly sh.t small races, where he has to contend with either Bos, or Freire, or Brown, or all of them, for team leadership. Personally I think he could be the new Freire, he even looks a little like him (on the bike at least).

How about present day vs. historical, like:

Contador >>>>> Armstrong (duh)
or
Hampsten >>>>> Basso
or
Kelly >>>>> Gilbert

???

I don't know, Gilbert is owning Kelly's favorite race as if it was a walk in the park :p

But seriously, no comparison can be made, different times. Perhaps if we just look at their classics stuff at the end of Phil's career.

X has always been the best rider. He comes earlier in the alphabet than Y every time. Y has been getting a lot of strange packages in the mail lately from pharmaceutical companies.
