Which current top 10 TDF rider is most clean?

[Stetoe]

Taking into account the rider's past, talent and skill,
which rider do you deem to be the current cleanest top 10 rider?
Are there any riders specifically you have almost no doubt about currently being clean? I'm very interested in your views!

1 Chris Froome SKY 66:07:09
2 Alberto Contador TST +4:34
3 Roman Kreuziger TST +4:51
4 Bauke Mollema BEL +6:23
5 Nairo Quintana MOV +6:58
6 Joaquim Rodríguez KAT +7:21
7 Laurens ten Dam BEL +8:23
8 Jakob Fuglsang AST +8:56
9 Michal Kwiatkowski OPQ +11:10
10 Daniel Martin GRS +12:50

Nothing to keep his baby face nice and smooth?

Dan Martin, I suppose.

Lol at Froome coming 2nd in the poll so far.

& lol at Contador coming 3rd. It's a troll poll I guess.

 

[Ferminal]

I thought voting Kwiatkowski was a pretty good troll, obviously not.

No need. He's naturally handsome.

Maybe it would be nice to give points instead of 1 winner.

I don't know about the others but Froome and Martin are clean

 

[LaFlorecita]

I've always wondered what the effect of plucked brows is on performance. It seems more aero to me.

 

[hrotha]

Martin, then Mollema.

But it's a crap shot.

 

[IndianCyclist]

My money is on Mollema or TGBM as they call him here

I have been rooting for Ten Dam for years at the TDF (visited the mountainstages for years), i always liked that he appeared to give it his best effort riding in 25th place after the topriders on a mountainstage (after doing his domestique-work).
But in the first 8 years of his career he has never been close to showing that he was top 15 material in the TDF, or even a top 15 climber. So no, i wouldn't say he has always been a 'good' climber.

And now at age 32 he finishes 8th overall in the Vuelta and 6-7-8th overall in the TDF? Again, i'm a fan, but if he was a 32 year old relatively unknown portuguese or spanish rider with an equal palmares performing like Laurens is doing i would be screaming dope.

Seems the voters on balance agree with McQuaid.

The future of clean cycling rests with GB and not the traditional cycling powerhouses.

So that should settle it for many riders. If English is not your first language, you're a doper. Add to that, if you are from the USA you're likely to be a doper.

Doesn't leave too many clean riders.

 

[Bratam]

I was going to pick Mollema or Ten dam but then I saw Dan Martin at the bottom and couldn't go past him. It's a tough vote because Dan Martin is probably 99% clean. But then guys like Mollema and Ten dam get less votes than Froome or Contador. Absolutely ridiculous. But a flawed voting concept as well.

Even Rodriguez is potentially clean.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Chris Froome, the guy who thinks Armstrong was clean just said so.

LOL. That settles it then !

1. Martin
2. Mollema
3. Kwi
4. Ten Dam
5. Quintana
6. Contador
7. K-ger
8. Birdsong
9. J-Rod

Kwiatkowski? No way. A guy who can climb, time-trial, sprint, go over hills and over cobbles, and who rides for OPQS has to be highly suspect.

Dan Martin/Mollema. Voted Martin.
