Who is/are your favorite rider(s)

[Zinoviev Letter]

Soler, Kadri and Dan Martin are three who come to mind. I'm increasingly fond of Cadel Evans, who I never used to particularly like. Also, down at the Conti level, I'm impressed with Gediminas Bagdonas.

Geeze thats hard one

Evens and O'Grady come to mind first - Cadel has alway been a fave of mine & Stuey is a Adelaide person like me and done our state so very proud.

As for the non aussies id go George Hencappi, Jens Voigt, Thor Huhssov and Fabian Cancellara

Yeah, Belorussian transcriptions can be very hard. You mean Alexandre Usov, I guess?

Hilarious how many people who misspell Hushovd, which I couldn't understand at first. But then I heard how some of the commentators pronounced his name and I immediately understood why...To make it clear, it's pronounced "Hus-hovd". The V is a V and not a F and there's no "sh" sound

SOLER

Soler, yes! So happy to see him back after so long.

My overall favorite actives, Voigt and Horner.
Voeckler, then Chavenel.
Sentimental favorite is Cunego.
And for some reason I've always favored Frank over Andy.

 

[schweinika]

why isn't Schleck in the poll?

 

[greenedge]

TJVG for fav young rider, Matthews, Kittel, Swift, Goss for sprinters, Cadel, Nibali and Contador for GC, Cancellara, Gilbert, Boom, Boonen, Geraint for classics, Kiryienka, Vino, Voeckler and Chavanel for attacking. Future riders Sagan, Bobridge, Porte, Busche, Guardini. Workers Eisel, Syzmd, CAS, Fuglsang, LTD. EBH i love too not as a worker

 

[greenedge]

that would give us a living injury I thought he meant Vanendert though

That's what i meant thx.

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

My favourite riders are:
- British riders except David Millar but especially R. Downing (Local legend).
- Voeckler
- Gilbert
- JRod
- Voigt
- Sagan
- Hayman
- EBH
- Flecha

 

[Euskaltel!]

Hmm. I think it has to be Nieve =) But I like Mollema and G too.

 

[dbrmuz]

Cancellara for mine.

 

[*Falze*]

Sammy Sanchez for me.

Tiralongo also a favorite (before Giro win), prob since Vuelta a few years back.

Also a Ballan fan (no idea why)

as well as my hometeam Sky and UK boys.

ALL TIME FAV is Thierry Claveyrolat.

 

[RedheadDane]

I think in a way I like them all. Heck; these guys are the reason I get to enjoy hours of great racing.

Sure, whenever there's a Dane or a Saxer (or a Danish Saxer) with a change for a win I'll cheer for him That goes for Leopards as well, I don't give **** about the Saxo vs. Leopard war! But that's got nothing to do with the rider, it's just the nationalism coming up in me.
And even then it's not like I cannot possibly appreciate the win if it ends up not being a Dane who takes it. P-R this year is a good example; Bak could've gotten the win and yes, I was hoping he would but I still think Summie's win was absolutely beautiful.

THERE ARE THREE OF HIM? I like him, alright. But I just think three of him would be a little scary! Three of any rider would be scary!

They would constantly attack and counter-attack each other , probably to the death I imagine it would be quite gruesome.

What happens if they use each others blood for a transfusion? Will it be homologous or autologous blood?

Oh dear I never even considered that. It would certainly open up a bit of a Pandoras box.

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

my opinion is if you didn't checked out at least half of those boxes then why are you even watching cycling in the first place

I didn't check out any of those boxes because I couldn't find the I like them all box!

Imagine the commentators: Vino is attacking. Vino and Vino are following!
