Our friends at ProcyclingStats have given users of the site an additional feature to go alongside the mountain of data, quizzes and games on their website.
The favourite 15 gives you an opportunity to pick your favourite riders. Your picks will roll up to provide the top 500 riders of all time.
Full transparency… Here is my list above.
I am really happy with the list and think it reflects my love of the sport and of some of the key characters within it.
Naturally there is a bit of a bias towards British riders, based on my nationality. But there are some proper old school and hipster choices as well.
I am planning to explain the why is upcoming posts.
You can then decide if I was right to add Chiappucci at the expense of Miguel Indurain!!
