Cancellara
The man is just amazing! He just became the first person ever to win 4 TT world championships. On a course that the riders were describing as quite difficult, he averaged over 29 mph for his 58 minute ride.

I just hope him and Contador aren't sharing meals.

Not only is he fun to watch in the TTs. He is just an animal in stage races where he can get into a break or chase one down. He is an ultimate strongman. These guys are my favourite types of riders, although sprinters are fun too. My fave was/is Jens Voigt. Jens is simply a beast.

And Jens seems like such a genuine great guy, too. I sure am glad that nasty crash in '09 didn't end his career.

How about that E3 Prijs Vlaanderen-Harelbeke win!? He's an animal, a complete cyclist!

Yep, he surprised me when he did the initial pull for Schleck and Saxo Bank up the Col du Tourmalet in the Tour last year. That was great to see!

Yeah, I never figured him for the hills. But he is steadily improving there.
