And the winner is . . . VDB?!?!

Man, I hope he's clean now. Yeah, call him a no good doper, but I still have a soft spot for anybody who's been through as much personal crap as this guy and can still come back.

Good luck to him . . .

BBD

BBD, I'd love to see him come back, but I'm not holding my breath. I can't think of anybody that is more self-destructive, but also has the talent and determination to pull it together and keep clawing his way back!! I wish him the best!!

The Dr. Mabuse thing was the best.

Sad decline, but I love seeing him come back. Fingers crossed.

He has style on the bike, a la Fondriest. Wish more pros would throw the SRM in the recycle bin and punish folks on the cobbles...all while stylishly dressed as a Euro-pro.
