Why are you choosing so good riders. I think we should choose between Vaugrenard, Kleyen, Pronk and Casper. |

Ivan is essentially American (he certainly couldn't return to cuba after defecting) and Cadel is australian (which is good enough) Schleck is on a team who's main sponsor is american, speaks english, and has ridden all his years as a pro with American riders (julich, DZ, CVV, and now Jay Mac)

I think i could only really nomitate four riders to become rider of the year:
Cadel Evans: As mentioned before, he have been bloody consistent all year all.
Paolo Bettini: Any world champion should be consider an option when you think of the rider of the year. But the way he won in spite of the organizers plans, thats [positive superlative]
Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli: Now before you claim that you cant nomitate a woman, think of this: She's around 48 years old, and in 2007 she became 7th in the WC ITT and 2nd in both the French RR and TT national championship (she won both last year). I think that qualifies.
Andy Schleck: Im going to jump the bandwagon. A 2nd place in the Giro is excellent. And he is only going to become better.

cyclist of the year is for the best rider of the year. not the rider that most impressed
he was very good for his age, but this isn't a "most promising" award

aah the irony of the word "positive" in there...
