Andy Schleck, no discussion. Clearly proven by the 2011 tour. |

At least put Big Mig in there, he's the best of all and even better than the Schleck's. |

I'm honest. "Big Mig" wasn't familiar to me. I thought you meant Michael Rogers. 
I added Miguel with him but it didn't save properly.

Monsieur Chrono. Saw images of Anquetil doing a TT when watching a Poulidor doc last week.
His positioning (on a normal road bike) is truly magnificent. No movement at all in his upper body.

I think a lot of people forget how good Rogers used to be against the clock.
Another def for the list should be Greg Lemond pretty much defined how TT riders should ride to get maximum power.
Another fantastic TT specialist was Evgeni Berzin for a while. |

No. Not at all. His WC victories only came because the best TTists at the time (Ullrich and Armstrong) never cared to participate in the world championships after le Tour.

I honestly didn't want to include Armstrong and Ullrich in here.

Omg this is Anquetil without a single question! The guy was an absolute monster time trialist! 9x Chrono Nations, which in his time was a massive event easily equivalent to todays WC ITT. One or two hour records, depending on what you believe. All his TDF wins were based on his prowess in the ITT's. And his Barrachi wins. No questions he's the best!
Also, no Armstrong? No Hinault who won 13 TDF TT's?

Anquetil, none of today's guys come close
Also what the hell is with the tsunami of polls that crashed over the forum in the last few hours?
