Mark Cavendish, the best UK cyclist?

Nicole Cooke is the best british cyclist at the mo. She was won everything at least twice. Hoy and Pendleton can't be far behind, tho.

Cav is showing a lot of promise, but to call him the best is just hyperbole. Millar's done more, as has Wiggs.

Best ever? Robert Millar (KoM in Tour and Giro, podium in Giro and Vuelta), Tommy Simpson and Nicole Cook.

You'd have to add Boardman into that list too really. Hour Record x2 (Athlete's and Absolute), World TT Champ, Olympic Pursuit, 3xTour Prologues.

Cav is the best British cyclist this year, here's hoping for an Olympic Madison title and a couple of tour stages
