"Dealy" Ned Overend has to be in there surely. Not sure about Gould or Baker. Good, but not world class. There is a massive x'over now with mtb to road and vice versa. Look at Cadel and Rasmussen. Both ex mtber's turned roadies. To be fair, most mtb xc races are what they used to be. Seem little more than lumpy cyclocross courses now. Back in my day I remember when they were real courses with real mountains or at least hills.....
