Here's a game. Turn to the person nearest to you and ask them to name a pro cyclist, past or present. If they're British, I predict that they'll be able to stumble towards Bradley Wiggins and Chris Hoy, although if they're Welsh they've probably got Geraint Thomas somewhere in their locker. Victoria Pendleton is a possibility, if they were really into London 2012.
If they're Australian, Cadel Evans will be up there. If they're American, perhaps Greg LeMond has made an impact on their consciousness, especially if they're over 40. This game becomes a bit less predictable if the person is from mainland Europe, because the sport has made a bit more of an impression on the continent, but let's assume that they're not, for the game.
