My favorite rider of all-time is Greg Lemond, who was my hero in the eighties. I hated Hinault at the time, but now love him, Fignon as well (RIP). Then there was Stephen Roache and Sean Kelly, but I liked Delgado as well. Indurain spoiled the party, but you can't but salute Big Mig, however, Pantani got me off the couch shouting at the TV when he attacked in the mountains like none other. Loved Jan and always hoped he'd beat Armstrong alas, who I liked in 98, before I grasped how cruel and ruthless the guy was (the doping doesn't really matter in this sense). Contador was exciting, but now I'm rather blaise about the current crop, probably because Evenepole hasn't lived up to expectations. Not a fan of Pogacar with his entourage, Vingegaard is too boring.
