So who is the most exciting current cyclist to watch?

for me, Contadours efforts in Paris Nice were superb viewing, for the same reason i liked Voekler when he was defending his yellow. Still like him now

the last few stages of Di Luca were pretty cool too.

    Of the GT contenders?

    Agree with Contador. Schleck the younger can light up the climbs. LL Sanchez' balls out descending and big heart put him on the list.

    Of the others Voigt is always money.

    But if you want excitement, watch the classics: Boonen, Chavanel, Devolder, Cunego, Haussler, Chinny, Flecha, Schleck EBH, and of course Valverde and Tintin before their bans are all entertaining. Also lesser lights like Quinziato, Breshel, Visconti and J Rod make good tv.
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    Depends on the situation.

    Sprints: Cavendish without a doubt
    Epic one-man rides: Cancellara (his ride in the Olympic road race was insane!)
    Grand Tour GC: Schleck when he's "on" and Contador when he's challenged (like his rifdes against Rasmussen)

    English. Not British.

    Another fantastic British rider.

    Nicole cook in the Worlds and Olympics was pretty good.

    I was jumping up and down like a maniac during both occasions.

    (I wasn't watching it, I was being told I wasn't allowed a bag of sweets by my mum...)
