RSF Rider of the year 2010 award

[Robyklebt]

This year as well we'll have the awards. Well, maybe... I do this one as usual, the other awards? No. LCB the creator of the other awards inactive, Cerro who took over no time. Allagen did it last year, no idea who'll do it this year.... I'll write the things for the newspaper, but somebody else can open the threads etc. I do this one here.

Rules:

Same as always: Write down 5 riders, the 5 best riders of 2010 in your opinion. No need to give reasons, but of course giving reasons is ok too. But to make it simpler please post the comments under (or above) the list itself.

Example

1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e

a because he's cool, sexy fantastic, bla bla bla bla etc etc. Will make it easier for me to calculate the result.
And if you change your mind: EDIT your old post, don't make a new one.

Ah yes, if you know english, please write the comments in english, that counts for the notorius anti-english crusader FL too!
The ape then will order Roby to count all the votes that were given until Dec 31st 2010 23.59 CET. And announce the winner later on.

2 Peer Pils
3 Manuel Clausen
4 Christophe Monfort
5 Martin Tilling

Why did I write German?????? Translating everything now...

Hard this year, probably will edit a lot later, there's many who could come in.
Coulieu: 3 podium on the GTs, 1+2+3, 12 stages, won the 4th GT, the andes plus an important classic, Flèche Wallonne too.
Peer Pils, not the sprinter with most wins, "only" 17 and 3 point jerseys. But won what counts, Milano Sanremo, 3 Giro stages and the points jersey, 4 Tour stages and the points jersey and one Vuelta stage.
Clausen, Gent-Wevelgem, San Sebastian and Lombardia. 2 Giro stages to top it off. Enough for nr 3
Monfort, TdF with 3 stages, LBL. Nothing else. But the only one with a GT and a monument.
Tilling, just kicked Trueba out of the list.... Vuelta, TdS, Romandie, Pais Vasco, 1 GT and 3 important PT tours, California, Bayern, Oesterreich, still fairly important, but already much less, then a few things that he should be ashamed of even participating. But that's basically the managers fault, (of whom I don't think much anyway..) Despite the manager Tilling won a lot finally, including a GT.

1 Jean Coulieu - Siehe Roby, der hat noch Bergtrikot beim Giro und Punktetrikot bei der Vuelta vergessen.
2 Manuel Clausen - Siehe Roby.
3 Esteban Trueba - 46 Etappensiege 2010. Muss reichen für Platz 3. Leider keine (oder sehr wenige) "wichtige" Siege dabei.
4 Lionel Terray - Vuelta gewonnen, Sabatini, Emilia. diverse weitere Etappensiege und Trikots.
5 Jaco Ysaye - Hauptsächlich, weil er den Liechtenstein Cup gewonnen hat. Daneben Weltmeister, San Sebastian, Hamburg, Plouay und diverse weitere Rennen Etappen

1. Adrian Bonilla... Who else!!! Wins Lombardia 2009 ans Doyenne 2010... The only races that counts!!!
2. Yuri Gamov... Ok, I'll surely put him a bit under 2 but he's in my 5 for sure. GIro win, 4 TDF stages, Tirreno Adriatico!

1 Jean Coulieu
2 Manuel Clausen
3 Peer Pils
4 Yuri Gamov
5 Eric van Gaveren

Coulieu - Top results in all GT's plus Anden. Just the Giro title is missing. Emilia or Lombardia would have made it a "almost" perfect season too.
Clausen - Gent-Wevelgem, San Sebastian and LOMBARDIA. 2 Giro stages. well done.
Pils - A sprinter with guts. deserved to be mentioned here. Took part at the Giro and with good results. Plus Tour and Vuelta stage wins and for sure: MSR
Gamov - Girowinner with under 50 TT. And he won in a way which was just fantastic, against a strong Aldeia. Plus 4 Tour stage wins. And he won Tirreno, very nice. A offensiv riding climber. Some more good results are missing. But the Giro counts a lot.
Gaveren - Unfortunately he was riding during the winter and can't be really put into one year. But he was a dominating rider in his terrain. Must be mentioned here.

1 Jean Coulieu
2 Christophe Monfort
3 Peer Pils
4 Jaco Ysaye
5 Martin Tilling

1/ 3 podiums in the GTs, plenty of wins, and a monument
2/ A GT and a monument
3/ A monument, 2 of the 3 most important sprinterjerseys
4/ Several good wins, but not as important as the others. Plus, I don't like him
5/ A GT and loads of semi-important tours.

I tried to go for various rider types. There are other good climbers but no need to vote for them all, only the best deserves a place.
No place to vote for Terranova or Clausen...
