[jordan5000]

I'm a fan of the Schlecks and Cav but Jeremy Roy earned my respect with his 3 breakaway attempts in the tour, that's heart and hustle.

 

[iwasonbwh]

It Contador for me after the giro but as i'm irish i always keep an eye out for them esp. Deignan

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

oh man. Reading this thread again, I am looking forward to CX

Agree that MB isn't as good. I like it, but I tend to forget about it and such.

Contador has grown on me a whole lot btw.

According to Wikipedia which you can always trust... yaaah he spent a whopping 700+ KM in breaks in this year's TdF!

No wonder he got that Super-Fighter-Prize. And hey! He even attacked on the Champs...

Vino!!!! First, second and third fave.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Jan Ullrich. He´s still active in amateur races...

I like that one. Reminds me of the best part of my weekly practises... the hours after

 

[SHAD0W93]

I would have said Der Kaiser to but I didn't know if amateur counted or not. He should have won more Tours

 

[Eric8-A]

The majority of my favorite cyclists are time trialists.

 

[Maxiton]

Jan Ullrich. He´s still active in amateur races...

Still training for the Tour, I see. Does he weigh his beer?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I would have said Der Kaiser to but I didn't know if amateur counted or not. He should have won more Tours

I had to bent the rules a little bit to bring up Ullrich. I know boomcie certainly meant active pro riders

 

[Green_&_Gold]

1. O'Grady, Evans & Hansen
2. Any other Aussie
3. Cav, Hushovd, Horner, Cadel's BMC Team mates
4. other Internationals
5. Drug Cheats (inc aussies)
LAST: CONTADOR

 

[Tigerion]

Well as an Aussie I will generally support any fellow aussies racing regardless of team. Of them I have to say McEwen would be a favourite but there hasn't been much to cheer about this season. Other than that, well in try Aussie fashion it would be whoever is winning

That said outside of the Australian ranks Thor, Jens, Hoogerland, Vallis, Gilbert, Rodriguez, EBH, Roy. Liked to see Cav win as well but mostly due to Renshaw getting his job done. Not so sure I can be happy with him winning without the Aussie connection, certainly not from his national team

In GTs any domistquie who gets sent up the road and then has a chance for the win.

Then I guess whoever has the chance to beat the Poms and the yanks

And hopefully next year anybody riding for greenedge

 

[the asian]

Gilbert and Contador are my Favourites.
I also like Samu, Anton, Purito & Thor.
I haven't seen the colombians ride too much, but would dearly love to see the young brigade led by Quintana and Henao succeed.
