Vote for North American male cyclist of 2005
Our friend and pull-up rival Brain Lopes made Velonews’ short list. Other nominees include Dave Zabriskie, Levi Leipheimer, Bobby Julich, George Hincapie and some guy named Lance Armstrong.
Vote for your favorite mountain biker (I mean male cyclist 🙂 on the lower right corner of www.velonews.com
I think it would be better if they had two categories for cycling, road and mountain. It is pretty obvious who will win this because of two reasons.
1. The Tour gets so much coverage compared to any mtn. bike event.
2. Everytime I have read VeloNews, it is usually more road based.
That is my two cents. Good luck Brian. You got my vote.
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
If it comes down to pushups, Brian has it.
I think you could make a good argument for just about anybody on that list – George H. in particular. He wins Kuurne-Burxelles-Kuurne in the spring, finishes second in Paris-Roubaix, and ends the season winning GP Ouest France Plouay. In between he wins one of the toughest stages of the Tour and helps LA to a 7th consecutive overall win – No small feat. A great season from beginning to end.
I agree with Matt on this..But I think they left a DH rider out of the vote…Curtis Keene?? I think theres a typo or something LoL But yeah Brian has my vote!
Curtis … definitely the Fastest Full Time Electrician in Fremont, CA!
Great article. I am just sad I dont know how to reply properly, though, since I want to show my appreciation like many other.
