Most were track people anyway... Some of the famous roadies were Bernard Hinualt, Eddy Merckx, Greg Lemond, Viatcheslav Ekimov (got a jersey from him), Alexi Grewal, Dean Woods... Oh, and Lance...Originally posted by: Fausto

Eddy is the man. Period. There is none higher.
Otherwise, I was a big fan of Jose' Maria Jimenez (RIP), and am a big fan of Museeuw, Bartoli, DeVlaminck, Vandenbroucke (when he's not bogged down being a headcase), and Zabel.
Heard of all those guys. I'm a Lance fan and all, but I love Zabel for growing beyond being 'just a sprinter' and winning some hillier races, like Amstel Gold. Plus, he's in the mix nearly year-round. And he's modest about it, too!! Definitely a class act.
Can't wait 'til Le Tour '04. Looks wide open at this point.
