I'd like to know who we all think is the best ever. I know some of you are new to cycling but this is your chance to find out more about the history of the sport.
You may not recognise some names but after reading the article where I got this idea from there is no doubt in my mind that these are the best cyclists ever even though it's a purely subjective list.
I've included Lance Armstrong who is probably the current best rider today but it's difficult to judge his career before he's finished. Still some of you may admire his achievements through sickness and adversity enough to nominate him.
Try to remember that this is not voting on your favourite rider but who you think was/is the best.
Pleasevote and postyour selection and feel free to add comments. Thanks.
