Oo oo Gilberto Simoni for his dream Giro squad.
And start the interview with "of course, you'd want cunego""In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

In a few years time it would be interesting to ask Boonen for his ultimate classics squad. Unfortunately if you asked him at the moment it would just be a QuickStep roll call
Yeah, but any opposing team would just need to add Stannard.

Hi guys, I've shown this to the Cyclingnews editor and he wants to know who else you'd like to hear 'Dream Teams' from? Hopefully going to become a regular feature!

Curious that he mainly picks riders he managed rather than rode with. I liked Millar's more because it gave an insight into an earlier era...0 -

He does seem to have bent the rules slightly ("the riders picked must have all ridden with the person picking the team") but I like the wide historical spread. It's a very Anglo team which perhaps reflects his thoughts on Millar and difficulties in fitting with the cycling culture.0 -

To go back to Millar's list.
Henk Lubberding.
Absolute hero.
Has the best chat on Dutch TV. Absolute motormouth, full of good stories, takes no BS, is genuinely a nice guy, and is happy to explain to anyone any tactical problem or confusing they have.0 -
Cheers RickChasey!
My dream team: THE PARTY TEAM
Team Leader: Stephen Roche*
Climber: Rafal Majke
Sprinter: Mario Cippolini***
Dom: Taylor Phinney**
Road Captain: Chris Lillywhite*
Dom: Luca Paolini***
Dom: Nathan Haas**
Dom: Geraint Thomas
Dom: Dean Downing*
*who I've actually ridden with
**who I want to ride with
***who I want to party with
Amateurs - the lot of them. Except for Cipo of course. But the rest could barely keep up with him past the first shag.
The REAL party team:
Phillipe Gaumont
Franck Vandenbroucke
Laurent Jalabert
Stuart O'Grady
Mario Cipollini
Salvatore Commesso
Jacques Anquetil
Johan Bruyneel
Laurent Roux
Gotta get the best

I think vintage era David Millar warrants a place on any party team.
I can't see Bruyneel managing to unclench his jaw long enough to get a drink down him."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Bruyneel at any party gets booted out pronto just for being a massive bell-end
Ach, I'd make room for Dave0 -

Good point, Millar goes pretty well on all accounts.
I'd also have Bobridge and Hepburn as the Chauffeurs.0 -

Millar picks his band of brothers. No room for Wiggo eh?
Josh - can CN do some non-Anglo ones for a change? So how about asking Oscar Freire?0 -

I'll pass your suggestion on!BikeRadar Communities Manager0 -
Yes please. They're great.
We get quite saturated with the Anglo guys and they don't make up that much of the peloton!
Wegelius would be good for the Italian side! (And for some debate over Di Luca ) 0 -
Isn't Di Luca the best team leader ever or something along those lines?0

In a similar vein (not the best turn of phrase, under the circumstances, I know...) - maybe ask Ludo Dierckxsens, Sean Kelly, Andre Tchmil, Leif Hoste, etc, for their ultimate hard-bastard-nutter-Flandrienesque-classics squad. Ideally with any stories of someone going so hard they saw a bit of their lung pop out through a nostril. That sort of thing...0 -
