Well... Eddie Merckx won more grand tours than anyone else (even if you don't disqualify Armstrong), won all the jerseys in the TDF one year, and overall won more than anyone else.
But Fausto Coppi was cycling poetry, whose career was interrupted by the war; Sean Kelly was a ferocious hard-rider and still managed to be a nice, generous bloke. Pantani could almost be the Coppi of his generation.

Andy Wilkinson, Lynne Biddulph and Gethin Butler have carved out their own niches in domestic long-distance competition. Alf Engers cocked a snook at authority in the shorter distances.

I could mention loads more.

David Miller. Pure style and the only doper to ever find true complete redemption.

For sure, as the list is long. So I take it EM is your fav. He was, without a doubt, an awesome rider.

I agree, Pantani could have been the Coppi of his time, but wasn’t he, at least, on the team that bared Coppi’s name at one point in his early career.

Peter Sagan. He can park a bike like other.



That was awesome! So, who’s your fav from the past, other than Peter from the present?
