I would like to get some input on a project I am currently hatching. Any
contributions are gladly received.
Who are your top five cyclists (in History, on topic) in following fields:
Track Road Cross and cyclo-touring/long distance races (this one is a bit tough since it kinda qualifies as road, but I'd like to make the distinction).
If there are one or two female riders that come to mind, that would certainly be of interest as well.
Thx, kim -- Kim Klakow
