+1 for Robert Miller. Inspirational rider in my youth
Alberto Contador
a climbing god
My grandad.
Got to be Robert Millar - watching him as a teenager got me interested in the sport.
Boris Johnson, just ahead of Fabian Cancellara
Lauren Fignon, watching him back in the day is why I started to ride.
Marco Pantini, despite his flaws. So thrilling to watch him attack on the big climbs.
My 75yr old dad who still manages 50+ miles a week.
Lance Armstrong
Tom Boonen
jen voigt
Chris Boardman
Mercx
My wife Ann on tour in France as I type.
Hmm...I think it unfair to ask us to name but one rider when there are so many so I'm naming two (hope I don't get disqualified!)...1. Man of the moment Wiggo, 2. My mate Mickey for getting me back into cycling five years ago - best thing I ever did!
Great Boffo
A friend called Jon who I cycle for recreationally - he has an encyclopaedia like knowledge of local roads
Dave Atkinson
Marco Pantani
Jens Voigt
Eddie Merckx
Pantani!
Robert Miller for me.

Ian Stannard - no longer an unsung hero
Tweeter Sagan!
There can be only one;
Graeme Obree.
(Maybe Oli Pendrey on Gold Hill?)
It is Sean Kelly
Jacques Anquetil
because....... he was the first rider to win the Tour de France five times
the first French rider to win the Giro d'Italia (1960)
the first French rider to wear the yellow jersey of the Tour de France from the first day to the last (1961)
and
the first rider to win all three Tours, with victory in the Vuelta (1963)

Current Jens Voight, from the past Sean Kelly.
Ollie Whalley and Esther Horanyi from 2012 Tour Divide are quite inspiring of current riders as well.
