Nico of course. Why is this even an option?
Seriously, Nico was so far ahead of the other racers in terms of prep, training, equipment that it took up until the mid 2000's for everyone to adopt the same ideas. Now a lot of the field are really fit and the equipment is on a level playing field. Back then Nico had the best bikes and suspension, it just wasn't close. I think these are the reasons why he was so much better than everyone.
I don't get the love affair with Sam Hill. He can only do well on one type of track and he refuses to clip in, which would make him faster. He is a one trick pony. Nico, Minaar, Gwin, Smith, Peat - none of those guys can only ride one track. They are fast on everything. At that level you need to ride everything and stop f*cking complaining when a track doesn't suit you. Maybe if he swallowed his pride and clipped in he could find some extra pedaling power and keep up with the guys who are winning.

You don't manage that many World Championship wins if you are a "one trick pony".
Sam Hill has NEVER "complained" about a track not suiting him. Tracks like Stromlo or Pietermaritzburg which do not suit him, he works his arse off to improve his pedalling, there's no complaint from him.
Sam Hill mother#cker
Perhaps I was too harsh. Sam Hill is one of the all time greats. His accomplishments on the bike are legendary. By saying 'one trick pony' I was referring to him being very good on steep technical tracks and not so good on flatter pedally tracks.

That's a fair comment Faction. Its standard knowledge he cant pedal as well as a Minnaar but he is still a legend.
As Nico is a legend too.
