I stumbled across this site tonight.

It ranks the all-time and current greatest riders. There are some
interesting numbers, graphs and famous names.
It seems balanced in that it doesn't award extra points for being a
*****, surviving chemo therapy or abandoning your family.
In fact, it doesn't even mention some of those guys simply because
they never ride in many of the classified races.
