My Take
David Zabriskie is a rider I find quietly fascinating. A time trial specialist from Salt Lake City, he raced from 1999 to 2013, won stages in all three Grand Tours, and took the US National Time Trial Championship seven times. The time trial is cycling's loneliest discipline, a solitary war against the clock and the wind with no wheel to follow, and excelling there demands a monk-like focus most of us could never sustain. That austere, self-punishing kind of greatness appeals to me far more than the chaos of a bunch sprint. He is a craftsman of pure, measured suffering, and I admire it.
