Had the opportunity to be lapped by Ned in a couple races back in the day. Ned was/is an animal. Raced %110 from start to finish, what ever it took.
Edwin Moses was light years ahead of anyone in his era.
Surprised no mentioned Herschel Walker.
I wondered if anyone here would know who those 2 guys were!
Never saw Johnnie T. But did ride in the same "open" Pacific States Series race with Ned, Tom Ritchey, Jackie Phelan etc in '84. Along with another ton of the early mountain bike pioneers. And yeah, Overend was just in another class than the rest at that time...
As for others:
John Howard Lynn Hill Alex Lowe Willy Mays Joe Montana Nicki Lauda
