    Are we talking arm strength, leg strength, grip strength...? Not that it really matters anyway,
    since I bet that there are people working in the building I'm in right now who are stronger.

    But it sounds better than "who is the most aerobic guy in the peloton?" :-)

    I don't think you'll convince people to use the physiological definition of strength when talking
    about "strong" riders. It's been in use for too long. Just one of those differences between science
    and the real world.

    Such temerity.

    You should have the sense to challenge and defeat my inferiors in Ultimate Fighting Man before you
    challenge me to such girly lumberjack matches. Specifically, CHRIS DAGGS (THE FORCE).

    The chances of you defeating THE FORCE are very slim. He has perfected the Groin Rip. THE FORCE is
    now universally feared by all in San Diego County, including law enforcement, assassins, little
    old ladies, Homeland Security thugs. They cower at the mere thought of the Groin Rip.

    No, you cannot train for the Groin Rip, not even with that Taiwanese scrotal weight lifting
    technique.

    THE FORCE. You can stop his hands and his feet, but you cannot stop his teeth.

    My hero for shure.

  11. Me!

    No really, it is hard to say.

    There are sprinters, there are work horses, then just bad ass riders that ride off the front with
    20k+ to go and win.

    Hard to say....

    I seem to recall Stuey O'Grady interviewing Jens Voight a year or two ago and they jokingly
    discussed a "strong man" tour de france - 22 teams 9 riders - last rider in each stage gets
    eliminated - last man standing wins!

    That would be alot of stages but Jens thought (at least back then) he would go top 10.
