I'm not that old so mostly modern riders though two of them made it based only on what I read about them in history. Also, two of them are guilty pleasures :p

Come on....there must be someone from the 90s! :)


I did not watch cycling from 1993 to 2005 except a glance here and there .... I did not like cycling then ...and as it turned out these were the main EPO years

Nothing in GT racing compares to the 80s especially the 86, 89 & 87 tours for me (though I don't recall earlier times and I was a kid in the 80s)..but then the riders seemed to have bigger personailities, etc

Since coming back to cycling Contador, Sagan ,Wiggins , Boonen are the riders with the talent and the personalities
