    Millar - I've got a soft spot for anyone who uses expletives with such gay abandon.
    Wiggins - see above, but sadly often boring to watch. Too smooth, too controlled.
    Cancellara - especially when going downhill.
    Boonen - gotta love the coked up muppet.
    Vockler and Voight - too bloody minded to know it's pointless to try.
    Contador - sorry, but he is the most exciting rider in the world. He may of may not be doped, but unlike Armstrong he does have bad days, he does look fallible and he tries to win rather than avoiding losing.
    Anyone descending at speed - having driven down a few of the Pyrennean passes, my admiration for Pros turned up to 11...
    Anyone completing a long mountain stage - having driven a few of them I was knackered at the end of the day. It's difficult to comprehend how a human can do that for days at a time...

    So his awesome pace and him being smooth with it is boring.. What do you want? fireworks exploding out of a secret compartment under his seat every time he goes under 30 kph?

    They should also conduct meetings to discuss the possibility of nano lazer weapons concealed within the top tube to deal with the men on motorbikes getting within 5 feet of the racing velocipede during a run. yep, oh yes.

    Jesus someone get me on board their team STAT.

    Not sure secret compartments are a good idea in the current climate.

    For me its got to be Sagan. Not only does he win, but he does it on one wheel, chuckling his tjts off as poor old Cav struggles across the line breathing out of his ars* preparing his 'it was everyone elses fault i lost...do you know anything about cycling?????!!!!!' excuses.

    Im not a homo, but if i was, i would happily take let Sagan smash my back doors in.

    He's the new Ronaldo...Messi of cycling, he will breath new life into the sport and leave behind the Armstrong-on-the-sauce years.

    Oh no.. Clearly not a homosexual and definently not having sexual thoughts about male cyclists at all

    denial is something everyone has to get over at times for various reasons so have a think and let family and friends know as soon as you can

    Cav - simply the best sprinter there is, and a personality too
    Spartacus - has the power of greyskull
    Wiggo - ordinary bloke done great
    Cuddles - brave and classy, even if his voice is s bit high pitched
    Neebs - brace yourself for the descent
    Gilbert - takes the p1ss out of the shreks
    Millar - never afraid to attack

    Got to see Sagan in trouble. Then you will know what type of rider he is.

    Here's a photo for you:

    Cadel does come across very well and honest in interviews and got to love Voeckler for his 2004 tour feats, and this year too.

    Spartacus because he is epic. There's no other word for it. He can just put monster turns on at the front and ride really strong guys off his wheel. Plus he's just a complete cyclist who can downhill better than most of the peloton.

    Gilbert for pretty much the same reason. When he's on form he's just the classiest rider you could possibly imagine.

    Then there are guys I like who aren't amazingly talented (reltively) but who just work and work and always attack at the first opportunity. Riders like Ten Dam, De Ghendt, LL Sanchez, Nibali.

    Plus riders who just come across as good people like J Rod, EBH, Stannard.
