France has probably the most good cyclists, while the spanish and germans aren't too bad in the mountains. It would be a hard choice.

By best, do you mean the best on a road race or in a velodrome or combined?
I mean "who won the most cycling medals at the olympics". Sure France and Spain have a lot of cyclists. They also have a lot of PEOPLE. The Aussies though, won the most golds, by a long, long shot. Easily the best cycling nation.

Cheers Johnny. I was blown away by the swimmers. Swimming and cycling are our thing it seems. (Outside cricket and Aussie rules football)
