As an incentive for entering, one lucky reader will win a 2010 Felt F1 SL race bike used by David Millar this season, provided by Team Garmin-Transitions.
Daniel Benson, Managing Editor for Cyclingnews.com said:
“The annual reader poll is a real chance for our readers to have a say about what they think have been the highlights in professional cycling in the past year – from the thrills of the Giro D’Italia to the epic stages at the Tour de France.
We’ve already had over 10,000 votes so far, so we’re expecting this to be our biggest poll yet, it’ll be interesting to see who our readers vote as their Rider of the Year in such a controversial year of riding.”
