Christoph Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Which Pro cyclist do you have the most respect for?? All the best riders are always talked about because they are the best - and only that.. When these riders stop winning a lot they are forgotten and know one really remembers them Here is my list (I have a couple): Thor HushovdJuan Antonio FlechaCameron MeyerFabian CancellaraFrank Schleck (not andy) These guys are really excellent at cycling but their good nature and attitude towards others etc. just means much more than the fact that they cycle well
The_Break Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Ah, but you forgot about the one and only Jens Voigt!!!!!Armstrong also, he wanted to win at everything, but still had great sportsmanship when it came to his closest rivals. I remember when he let Ullrich take a mountain top finish so that Ullrich would be able to get the time bonus and hence keep in 2nd spot overall. Edited January 22, 2011 by The_Break
Christoph Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 haha yeah I suppose..but personality wise..not so sure
The_Break Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 haha yeah I suppose..but personality wise..not so sure If you ever want to watch an awesome cycling DVD check out Overcoming. It is based on the old CSC team during the 2005 (I recall) TDF. It focuses on Jens Voigt, Carlos Sastre, Bjarn Riis, Ivan Basso and Bobby JulichThere you will see 3 very awesome personalities in cycling in Basso, Sastre and Voigt. Very humble guys actually.

Christoph Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 Hi The Break Can one hire this dvd from a local DVD store? Is the name : 'Overcoming' alone or can I also refer to something else.. would love to watch this!!
Andyr249 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 It has to be Jens Voigt! Great cyclist and probably the nicest person in pro cycling.
shimano 105 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Mutual respect do it for me....Then all is equal and nobody looks down on someone else.
