Fabian Wegmann
Trofeo Laugeuglia, Rund um Koln, Rund um den Henniger Turn, 3 stages and GC in the Tour du Luxembourg, Wegmann dominated the Continental standings scoring 604 points - only 4 other riders got more than half of that.
Tom Boonen
The ProTour champion. He won the Tour of Britain, and nearly won the Eneco Tour. He took the green jersey in the tour de france and won the Paris-Tours classic. He only scored 1 of the cobbled races - Gent-Wevelgem, and also won various stages.
Alejandro Valverde
The new world champion also won the San Sebastien Classic, Paris-Nice, Fleche Wallone and Liege-Bastogne-Liege and was 3rd in the Tour de France.
Danilo di Luca
The Giro di Lombardia victory was a high point for the runnerup of this years Tour as it was amazingly (correct me if Im wrong) his only overall victory after he also took 2nd in the Vuelta al Pais Vasco.
Damiano Cunego
He absolutely dominated the Giro to such a dramatic extent that made is wish he could have battled Di Luca, but they are of course team mates. Cunego also win the final edition of the Zuri Metzgete.
Also nominated: Frank Schleck (Tour de France), Samuel Sanchez (Olympics, Amstel Gold, Milan San-Remo), Robert Gesink (Avenir), Alessandro Petacchi, and Michael Rasmussen.

Fabian made a tremendous difference. This year he was a class above every one else. He exemplified true domination, just look at the final individual rankings. The other four all did very well, but did not distance themselves from other the way that Fabian did.
I voted for Valverde..have to admit that I dont have close observerved your league..but it is fun to vote..SN options are fantastic..
This time for Valverde..why? He seems to get last proof that he will manage much better on classic races..after tour's dont let use doping anymore
"We all know that wasn't the real footage of the Worlds anyway. That was just the staged footage to perpetuate the coverup that it was actually Vinokourov that won the race."
