This could be a round of Pointless, name the best cyclist you don't think anyone else has ever heard of.
Hippolyte Aucoturier.

Such a superb name deserves a mention.
 
I would have thought most cyclists and a few non have heard of Obree.
I wish that were true, but there are a lot of mamil sportive riders out there who can't mend a puncture and think a crank is someone who's nutty. Not much chance of them naming the greats. I am fortunate enough to have met Graham, in fact he signed one of my cycling jerseys many moons ago and it hasn't been washed since.

Totally agree,I would like to meet him,I like the way he questions conventional thinking on almost everything, but unlike most he then proves his point by succeeding.
