Favourite Riders Poll

[Rossi]

Don't know whether this has been done before, as you can see I'm a newbie.

Who are your favourite riders from BITD, from your home nation and international, male and female.

I'll put mine up to be shot down.

British female - Caroline Alexander
British Male - JMC
National female - Missy Giove
National Male - John Tomac

caroline alexander, steve peat, paola pezzo (for the obvious...)

 

[Tulstar]

Oh yeah, Paula Pezzo... mmmmmm

I think mine would have to be:

UK Male: JMC, Rob Warner or Peaty (he started BITD and he's still kicking ass!)
UK Female: Caroline Alexander, another mmmmmm
International Male: Tomac because he could do it all! Or, more recently, Shaun Palmer
International Female: Giove, because she was just plain cool, remember that dead pirahna she had round her neck?!

 

[Rossi]

Your right about Peaty, still at the top now, I'm sure JMC would have too....if only. I remeber Peaty riding the downhill on a fully rigid Kona at a NEMBA race, Kentmere I think, how things have changed.

Giove was cooool..rode a YETI too which helps.

Max Sciandri, for his wonderful feat of British Derring Do at the Atlanta Olympics. The bravest ride I've ever seen! I watchedit all, getting thoroughly plastered in a bar in Spain, habving been roughing it up the Sierra de Grazalema for three days.

Tinker Juarez , he is still racing now since 1986.

British rider was just Caroline Alexander, I only wondered what she is doing these days now and when did she retired from MTB?

Scottish!
But only an Englishman could be beaten in the finishing straight, having led by half an hour with 50 miles to go.
