Total fan boy:
Mark Cavendish. I really liked the fact he won. And loved winning. And would happily moan about anything (including himself).Wout van Aert
Lars Van Der haar
Wout for his snot face, his ability to really fucking get at MVDP, and his willingness to work hard. Also. Hair.Lars for his willingness to get stuck in. His hurdling. And his balls for the rutty descending. Also. Big cock.
I loved nairo when he appeared but he's been neutralised.
Also grudgingly like valverde. Comedy bad man.
Also Tony Martin.

Since there is no racing to watch, what about a discussion of who are your favourite riders of the last decade, and why?
I'll start with a controversial pick. Vincenzo Nibali, because of the panache in his 2014 tdf win, his palmares across stage and one day racing, and the fact he has some devil in him. Not the most talented rider physically, but a very good tactician.
My second choice would be Gilbert. His year of grace was when I really started watching a lot of pro cycling, and his longevity and return to form in recent years sealed the love affair for me. I wish he could have won all five classic monuments, but guess it won't happen now.
To my eye, they also both look right on a bike. Their form and style are awesome.
