Vote for your
favourite ride and win a Blackburn Motivator!
Lance is in the lead, followed
closely by Museeuw and Tchmil, with Ullrich and Zabel just out of the
picture. No, it's not some fictitious race on a computer, rather, it's
the ranking of riders based on the number of nominations we received
in our 'Gobsmackingly Brilliant Rides of 2000' section. What started
by Swedish reader David Voller has now generated several hundred emails
from readers, which we have condensed into 83 separate performances,
which are all listed here. If you click on a rider's
name, it will take you to the comments from readers around the world,
with their reasons for the nomination.
Cyclingnews.com now allows you to vote for your favourite performance
of the year and everyone who votes goes into the draw for the prize,
the Blackburn
Motivator indoor training system, which allows you to ride from
Moab to Paris-Roubaix indoors on WebDVD. We have selected the top 15
by their number of nominations as of December 18, 2000.
Note: Voting has now closed
for the best rides of 2000 competition. The results and prizewinner
will be announced shortly.
