The best rider ever? Even better than Merckx, there isn't much she hasn't won.

She hasn;t entered the Kidderminster Killer yet, so she can't be that great, unlike Matt Regan.

More seriously though, I think you are probably correct in terms of her impressive performance. She is streets ahead of the late Beryl Burton, although Beryl was quite a phenomenon.

Yep, she's got to be the best all-round rider out there are the moment.

Have to agree - the Merckx comparison seems pretty accurate. I wonder if we'll be saying similar things about Sagan in 10 years' time? Still I reckon it's more difficult to dominate the men's circuit given the greater depth of competition, so maybe even having half Marianne Vos's success would make him as good?
