Top 10 Sprinters

[Jgrooms]

Another forever debatable top 10 list. Good stuff, however, here's my issue: why end most every rider's summary with the doping qualification?

and where was Andre Darrigarde on that list? after Cavendish, he might be the greatest TdF sprinter. and what about Rik van Looy or Rik van Steenbergen? both of them deserve a place well before Robbie McEwen!

Terrible list is terrible.

Well, they just got 10 page views out of me. dammit.

Oh, btw, that is what these "Top 10 [Blank]" are all about. Getting page views. next week they can do a new one. "The Top 10 Sprinters we forgot to include last week"

Hands down, Usain Bolt.

Apparently, not much sprinting was done during the black and white film era.

Agree that Darrigade, van Looy and van Steenbergen belong. Abdujaporov deserves an Honorable Mention for adding color (usually blood red) if nothing else.

Rik Van Linden..
I wish there was more video out there of the more classic pure sprinters.
Abdujaporov was a beauty!
