I think I'd have to be a Boardman-esque prologue specialist. A short sharp burst of effort then clinging on for grim death in the hope of making it to Paris!

Quintana, occasional flashes of brilliance blowing everyone off my wheel. Followed by suffering and getting dropped a lot.

Someone no-one has ever heard of with just a couple of podiums to their name and a load of near misses. Pretty much like 90% of Pro riders out there on the road

I was thinking Cavendish - good for a sprint, likes a ruck, stroppy git, never finishes

One of those guys that attempts to jump over them on a mountain bike. Only my version would involve dropping off a kerb and possibly falling at that

I'd be early variant Geraint Thomas.

There was a story about when he was a young stagiare domestique and was instructed to go back to the team car for bottles. Once loaded up with bottles in his pockets and up his jersey, he couldn't catch back up so had to jettison everyone's drinks and get paced back on.

That would be me.

In my head, someone like Vasil Kiryienka. Pure diesel, can sit on the front and pull but ask for any sharp accelerations or pure speed and I am stuffed.

some unknown Lithuanian sprinter on a 2nd class euro team, given a slot, comes 7th in every mass sprint, dies on a couple of breakaways, barely clings on by his fingernails in the mountains.

I can kind of climb, kind of sprint and I like bowling along on the flat but I'm not sure there is one I'm better at than the others, the anti-Phillipe Gilbert

Team mechanic. Spend all my time repairing and tweaking, setting up to perfection, but not actually getting and decent mileage in myself.

Ah, so you're the one!

As for who I'd be, well, given that there's no way I'd be getting round without being smacked off my t1t$, I'l be Lance 🙂

Seeing as Kiryienka has been taken I’ll be Wiggo - decent on long climbs, can’t attack, not so keen on public appearances and if I won the Tour de France once I’d give up and get pissed a lot!

Mountains domestique for the first couple of climbs, then back to the grupetto and rolling in half an hour down.

Julian Alaphillipe . Can show off on the smaller climbs, likes to take the glory, but nowhere to be seen once the big boys come out to play .
