Anthony Charteau

Charteau is my kind of cyclist. Winning the King of the Mountains classification at the 2010 Tour de France is a triumph of grit over glamour, the reward for breakaways and lung-bursting climbs rather than tidy sprint finishes. At 174 cm he was never a giant, which makes his dominance on gradients all the more romantic. I am also taken by his three straight wins at the Tropicale Amissa Bongo in Gabon, proof he could suffer and win in punishing heat too. He represents the unglamorous artisan of the peloton, the rider whose moment of brilliance you remember long after the yellow jersey fades.
