10 best Aussie cyclists
did someone forget Pat Jonker??
15th in the TDF is a pretty awesome effort in my book. "hippy" wrote in message ... "g" wrote in message ... my top ten This is a list of current riders. Yes, that's why I didn't do a top10 in the first place! :P This list is more of a personal favourites than a top 10. Stuart O'Grady is higher because I like him more - simple. OK, but McEwen has more stage wins in the Tour than O'Grady and a bundle of stages in the Giro. Also the first Aussie to win any category in the Tour, the Green jersey. He won a phenomenal 20+ races last year. Baden Cooke's palmares are much smaller than O'Grady's, apart from the Green jersey, he is still beginning. Robbie is easily No. out of that lot. He was going to be number 1, but O'Grady was, lets say, in my good books after trying so hard in the tour and being so "aussie" about it in the interviews. Cadel Evans won 2 mtb worlds titles, but its a case of comparing mtb worlds to a road worlds. Road gets 10 times the money, media coverage and more hotly contested than mtb. So I'd count anything won on the road to be harder than off road, sorry. Cadel has only done only a handfull of good things on the road so far. Obtaining the Maglia Rosa? Have we had anyone else do that? I'm sure you're right, but that's why I didn't make a top 10 to start with, my knowledge of other people's race results very limited hip |
