I used to like Roberto Heras, before he doped

I completely understand. I was a huge Tyler Hamilton fan. I would have to say it's a toss up between Levi Leipheimer and Alessandro Petacchi.

I like plenty of riders and don`t have a real favorite. If I have to choose, they`re Valverde and Chavanel. I like Valverde because he`s winning from beggining to the end of the season and Chavanel because he`s always in breakaway, fighting till the end.

Ive gotta say Boonen and Danielson. Boonen can just about outsprint anyone, and Danielson is an amazing climber.

Vino and Landis. vino because of how he rides, great to watch. Landis because of how he won the tour with the comeback on stage 17, that is the heart of a champion, and he's an american, I liked lance but he was kind of cold and caculating with his style, not all that exciting

the way landis won was fantastic, too bad he got caught for dope. now that lance is gone its going to be a much more exciting race.

Valverde is definitely one of my favorites lately just with how he's starting to really show himself.

And now with Lance gone Popovych has really started to step it up. His performance in the tour this year was pretty impressive despite Discovery being completely disorganized.

Since, one metioned armstrong, i am surprised no one mentioned Eddy Merckx? As far as now, was a big Floyd fan but borderline now, sastre rising to the ocassion of team leader after Julich and Basso crasged out. and other are others

I like Pantani, super climber, posed a big challenge to Armstrong in his early Tour days. (The only thing I don't like bout the baldy in pink is that he died from doping a few years back). Neverthe less he is like the best climber ever!

robbie mcewen because he's an absolute gun when it comes to sprinting to the last. cadel evans is also a brilliant rider, just a masterclass in climbing.

In my opinion, Tom danielson has tremendous potential and so does savoldelli, I do kinda feel sad for Eki coz hes done so many tours but hes rarely ever been the protected rider!!!
