+1 Oli
Dudes a superstar already. Not many sportsman/women can have self confidence to the point of arrogance and back it up with unbelievable performances.
Shit the way he won San Remo on his first go is impressive enough. He also has been climbing better and better. Still not great but he can Autobus it.

Agree with you there Oli '86-87?

Cancellara's effort last year was pretty special too. The only person in the world at the moment who can smash it for a Km and a half like he did. Vanderarden had it too. :love:

Mr Tugboat sir, can I please swap my white jersey pick to Roman Kreuziger? I didn't realise (and was too lazy to check) that he was still eligible...Sorry to be a pain! :paranoid:

Hayden Roulston
David Millar
Fabian Cancellara

Thought i would chuck him in there as he will be tired from being Farrar's leadout man and will struggle as a sprint leadout man does over the Mountains.
