Mark Cavendish, the best UK cyclist?

I think it's safe to assume that the last clean Tour winner was Lemond in 1990.

I agree it was good that Riis owned up - he went up in my estimation then as it would have been very easy for him to use the "I never tested positive" defence.

Well seen as even coppi admitted to being doped up, saying himself that you don't win bike races with just mineral water...It makes me wonder if there has ever been a properly clean tour.

If everyone is cheating, is it really cheating? If Cav isn't on the drugs he needs to get on them! I like the guy he brings some colour to proceedings, but that said...best uk cyclist? Pendleton by far
