Guessing at
Bartali
Merckx
Hinault
too tough to call - Indurain? Pantani? Bertie?
Froome's more of a Roswell head than Rushmore I think
It's actually very easy to do.
Coppi.
Bartali.
Merckx.
Hinault.
We should disregard every rider that belongs to Gen EPO and whilst that precludes the likes of Contador, I feel it's correct to do so..actually, not disregard more...asterix those wins. Some riders like Contador would still have 9 GT's if all the peloton was clean.....riders like Armstrong Wiggins, Riis, Evans, Froome...there's just five riders and 14 GT's that would be beyond those riders as without the peds avaiable they'd have a grand total of zero GT's to their names.
The four riders above..not one of them is clean...maybe Gino..but...the difference being they won in a time when the ped playing field was level and with or without they'd still be the best riders in their times. Coppi and Bartali, Bartali especially were unlucky that their most productive periiod was taken away by WW2....one, Coppi was a POW barber..the other...well as you know, there's not many Italian cyclists who were given the honour, Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.
