    Surprised no-one has mentioned Dan Martin yet, he's the one rider I can spot in the bunch and know immediately who it is.

    Yeah, if he had have gone through the GBR Track route then i wonder what they would have made of him? Would they have completely changed his style?

    I think Cavendish looks terrible on a bike. Not when he's sprinting, then he looks very good, but just in general. I think it's more to do with his build than anything else.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Probably. Tall fat fellas like me need to hate on someone.

    Chris Horner - whats with that gammy foot thing going on ?
    I seem to remember someone (probably Harmon) saying that earlier on in Horner's career they tried to make him ride straighter but it mucked up his back.

    Evans climbing is the ugliest for me....strangely I really like watching it though. Andy Schleck descending on the hoods looks pretty shite too :D

    ...but just for plain ugliness how about Ludo Dierickxsen who looked like Pantani's afterbirth?

    I'm going for Bjarne Riis.
    Nothing to do with his position or riding style.
    I just wished he wouldn't open his mouth so wide.
    It was very distracting.
    This comment about 'mouth posture' reminds me of Greg Lemond.

    Lemond often rode with his tongue just out, to the right side of his mouth, as if continually trying to get that bit of jam which had escaped off his breakfast butty.

    One rider whose riding style I felt was ugly was Rominger - it was like watching a hunchback.

    Wiggins sprinting in the Tour de Romandie was horrendous to watch. Worse because he's usually so smooth.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Ivan Gotti, climbing like a sportive rider.

    Mind you, it won him the Giro twice.
