It is a ridiculous proposition.

The sprints would be insane, with the grupetto battling for 111th position.

The top dogs have been mentioned already...I would go with Sagan, EBH, Chavanel, Cancellara, Nibali, Evans and an outside shout for Sammy Sanchez, who I don't think has been mentioned.

Two riders that haven't been mentioned but are deserving are Luis Leon Sanchez and Oscar Freire.

I wouldn't really call LLS that allround.

semi-good stage racer.
very good stage hunter.
and the odd good classic result.
His TT'ing has always been overrated.

Freirie is a great all-rounder SPRINTER. he cannot climb, etc. and does not compete in the cobbled classics. Ergo, he is not an all-arounder. LLS is an opportunistic and is better strategically then he is strong.
