13.	Fabian Cancellara. Alright, I donked up here, because Spartacus should be way higher. What was I thinking? I hadn't had my coffee yet when I was making this. Anyway, even if he wasn't arguably the most dominant classics rider of his generation, he was world TT champion four times and that alone is CRAZY impressive, besides just really appealing to me because time trialing is my favorite cycling discipline to watch.

14.	Tony Martin. See above.

15.	Mario Cipollini. There is a lot to dislike about Cipo. He is the Tom Brady of cycling. He's big, handsome, skeevy, and benefitted a LOT from a having a really strong steady system in place making sure all he had to do was do the one thing he was good at right at the end of the race. But again, see Fausto Coppi. He was very influential on the development of the springter role and was historically good at it. So he gets my vote.

16.	Tom Boonen. Ol' Tommy gets in easily both for his dominance (i.e. the volume of wins) and for the exceptional quality of many of them. And even for exceptional finishes he took part in but did not win, such as the 2016 Paris-Roubaix.

17.	Alberto Contador. See Chris Froome. See also that comment about looking super sexy on the bike and see also this current comment, when I tell you winning in thrilling, cowboy-esque ways very much gets you clout in my book.

18.	Felice Gimondi. Gimondi should be remembered more. He tended to come up short to Merckx when they raced against one another, but he still managed to win all three Grand Tours, plus 13 GT stages, four monuments including Paris-Roubaix, and the rainbow jersey.

19.	Stephen Roche. Roche is a real shooting star of a rider, where I feel like arguing him into the Hall against guys like Contador or Merckx is tough, since these are guys who were very very good for at least a few years, and Roche was good for a couple years, insanely good for one year in 1987, and then not particularly good after that. Still, that peak was pretty untouchable.

20.	Edwig Van Hooydonck. I'm really off it here at this point, but still, I felt Edwig deserved votes. Van Hooydonck, as I've argued in other threads, deserves at least some positive vibes for allowing his career to completely tank in the early 90s because he refused to try the new wonder drugs that were becoming widespread in the peloton. This coming after his two wins of the Tour of Flanders (1989 and 1991) which are, to me, among the absolute platonic ideal victories. The best bike race is always gonna be one where a big tall guy lays down one absolute brutal attack on the final hill and then solos to victory. I don't expect Edwig to get in; I just want him to get at least one vote because he's my favorite rider of all time.

21.	Constante Girardengo. Constante, the original campionissimo, won 30 Giro stages while only winning the GC twice. He won MSR six times and Lombardia thrice, in 1921 winning both - a double that actually got done a good few times in the first half of the century. Put him in!

22.	Toni Rominger. The craziest thing about Toni Rominger's career is that he was just INSANELY good, dominant to the level of video-game absurdity, and yet he was still largely in Indurain's shadow. This probably had something to do with how much the Tour was popularly overvalued in the 90's. It's also probably why I felt the need to put him on here, and not Indurain.

23.	Laurent Jalabert. Jaja just plain won a lot, in a lot of different kinds of races. He was incredibly versatile at a point in cycling where that wasn't happening much. I like it.

24.	Andre Greipel. Dude just plain won a LOT of races. I believe he's second in modern victories only to Cavendish.

25.	Lance Armstrong. See Fausto Coppi. Lance defined an era in a way that probably no other athlete ever has in any sport, aside from MAYBE Michael Jordan. But even in MJ's day, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing were reasonably well known in their own right. No, Lance was it.  But I'm still voting for him.
