Re: rank these climbers.
I'd put Chiapucci last simply cause he was probably on more drugs from Ferrari/Conconi than the others combined. He just bugs me for some reason.

Where are Van Impe and Bahamontes? Van Impe would be top of my list with Charly Gaul |

Re: rank these climbers.
Coppi? Robert Millar? Definitely add those two. And I think I agree with micron, Charly Gaul for the best climber ever.

Re: rank these climbers.
For me, Bahamontes and Pantani rank as the greatest pure climbers ever.
Followed closely by Gaul, then Van Impe. Fausto Coppi should be on that list and Eddy Merckx (no mean climber).

Re: rank these climbers.
What about Lance? Didn't he gift Ventoux to Pantani? How can Pantani be there but not the man who destroyed him?

Otherwise you would need Hinault, Lemond, Fignon, etc. on the list.
