There are some exceptions. Fignon in the past and nowadays Jaksche and Nuyens.
I just did an interview with Nuyens (no its not published yet), he has a university degree in communication science (is it called like that in English?, in Dutch its commincatiewetenschappen in German Kommunikationswissenschaften). Nick is a pretty smart guy.

limerickman said:I agree.
No disrespect intended .........I don't expect to read anything particularly insightful from any rider.
I'll try to put this as diplomatically as possible - none of these guys are particularly well educated/read.
I'm not saying that they're not intelligent.
Which begs the question - which rider gives the most insightful/intelligent interviews?
One recent interview I read with Erik Dekker was superb - it was full of good observations about training, his rivals and life after cycling.
