The greatest ever cyclist is...

Everyone like a good poll don't they? I know this has been done a million times before but prompted by a reply to the post from earlier today, I've set up a poll to determine - once and for all - who is the greatest ever cyclist. See left.
The shortlist is of my doing so includes some names which don't appear on other lists - not just the usual suspects.
I'm probably missing some obvious candidates too.
So, have a plump for your fave - the poll runs for two years (optimistic blog lifespan alert) and all those who vote for the winner will go into a prize draw for an all expenses paid trip to the Alps to watch the tour in 2018*.

Quick, the poll's open. *= not really
