Votings: 16.12.2010-30.12.2010
Formalities: Please only one post in this thread per user, if you would like to correct your nominations then use the EDIT-function. Apart from that please order your nominations from 1-3 and (if you'd like to) put a comment for why the rider deserves to win the award.

Timothée Lhotellerie : Giro winner... Nobody expected that!

[team fl]

1 Kuuno Kasendi (Falkenbier), PR
2 Keenan oReileigh (Team LunaLounge), MSR
3 Yuri Gamov (Petit Singe), Giro

[Robyklebt]

1 Jamie Bearclaw
2 Jonas Maurer
3 Jens Scholz

1: Bearclaw clear, with 82 mountain he won Lombardia, definetly a surprise, maybe not a huge one, it's an open race. But then he won the Tour du Jura as well, againt climbers that on paper seemed much much stronger

2: Maurer: Winner of the Giro del Piemonte. And it was a surprise for sure. But it's a bit as well for his other great result in October, Lombardia. Well, mini-Lombardia, was in group 2, so well, doesn't really count. Agree. Still, an 86 climber that has a 89 climber in his team wins Piemonte. A surprise for sure. Get's second in the Flèche Wallone (ok at the time still nr 1 in the team), gets second in Tre Valli Varesine, then wins the group 2 of Lombardia. Surprising for sure.

3: Won the Ballybofey Cycling Price

It's not a surprise... He won in the Allagen's style!

Talking the others to death?

[BMG-Allstars]

Timothée Lhotellerie : Giro winner... Nobody expected that!

Agree with Gaurain, was a great tour by OL

[team fl]

Why is there a smiley behind Jens Scholz in the Voting? I consider this a severe discrimination!

But I don't care as long as he has Flandern 2010 in his Palmares... as well as the race Roby mentioned

[Elaska]

Timothé !

After watching a few threads with this strange mininetbook here I've come to the conclusion I've come to a 100 before already.

You are a bunch of idiots. Gamov winning the Giro a surprise??? 7 people are dumb. He was one of the 3, for people who know a bit more 2 favorites to win it. Same as Petit singe 2 in team of the year right now... morons. Top 20, yeah, top 10 maybe, good year, for sure, but nowhere near some of the others
