I'm not sure how many remember Nicolas Vouillouz, or may have had the pleasure to actually see him ride or race, but I ran onto this, and thought I'd pass it on. 2-5-07 // Online Exclusive: The Alien Returns
I've never had the chance to watch Nico race in person, but from watching mtn biking videos featuring him, I'd say he was THE BEST downhiller ever. Nicolas is so smooth he makes it look easy. The other guy I'd throw up there is John Tomac. That guy is phenomenal.
that would have been cool to see him ride in Boulder. cant wait to see how Peaty and Hill do against Nico
Nico is the best and most accomplished mtb'r of all time. I dont think he'll be winning any of the races but i definately think he'll be on the podium. My personal all-around favorite rider ever is Johnny T.
Don't know if this is really giving you some heat, but, here it is. I would agree with you, only if, Cedric ever took his racing seriously. If he really applied himself, no one would beat him, however; if Cedric approached it this way, he would probably lose interest in riding. I will agree, he is up there on the list of most naturally gifted riders ever. I'm going with Johnny T. as well for my all time favorite.
