    Gino Bartali….for me…
    Just read a book given to me called “Road To Valor” about his wins pre and post war plus the Giro 3 times….during the war he worked with the Italian resistance cycling all over Italy delivering forged docs to help Jews escape the nazis. Awesome.

    Merckx for one simple
    Merckx for one simple gesture. After Ocaña’s fall had taken him out of the race and gave the yellow jersey to Merckx he declined to wear it next morning in respect for the Spaniard. Can’t imagine many riders doing that before, then, or now.

    Well, for me it’s got to be Thomas Voeckler. The sheer determination, guts and all out ‘I aint gonna give up’ attitude he showed last year is everything cycling is to me.
    I couldnt help jumping out of the chair and yelling him on, especially on the climbs – tounge hanging out and gasping for breath, just like a little terrier, he just wouldn’t give in.
