This is VitalMTB's list...who's missing?

 

 

 

So subjective to the discipline you are partial too ..

 

I would have liked to have seen Gracia and Barels names there.

true...but they had a nice mix of dh and xc..

 

i think kulhavy should have made the list - World champ in xc and Marathon ...olympic gold medalist...xc World cup winner...although..who would you take out?

 

Sam hill also on the brink of that list

Discipline Specific ...

 

But Id say

 

in XC

 

Absalon, Sauser, and Gunn Rita Dahle

 

in DH

 

Nico, Greg, Steve

 

as an OVERALL rider ....

 

have to go with 

 

Tomac and Furtado ... only ones to cross the discipline boundaries and still dominate

Anne-Caroline has to be no1.

Forget World Cup wins,anyone else on the list got 13 rainbow jerseys to their name?

 

nico doesn't have 13...but 10 in 11 years is pretty impressive..and at a time he was competing against 3 in that list
