Another vote on Merckx who I believe was more naturally gifted than any other cyclist of all time, appears to have been less dependent on the juice and always spoke against the use of drugs, and could beat you in any discipline... even in his senior years I understand that when he gets on a bike he is a force to be reckoned with.
He should have won at least 6 times and maybe 7 but skipped a year because of death threats and in his last TdF he came in second and said he did not perform at his best although he did have a broken jaw and was unable to eat solid food.
Merckx is THE man.
Period.
