Bradley Wiggins v Chris Hoy...who is the better cyclist? Why?

Question

I know they compete in different disciplines but if they went head to head in each other's races as well as their own, who would come out on top?

Answer 1

I was just wondering that lol!

I would say Hoy, slightly, because Wiggins and his partner didn't do very well in the Points race, whereas I think Hoy would have done better

Head to head I have no idea

Answer 2

You're comparing apples and oranges. Hoy has too much muscle bulk to ride competitively in a 4k pursuit and Wiggins lacks the leg power to win a Keiren or Sprint. If it were to happen though I suspect Hoy would perform the better of the two as he does have good aerobic fitness as well as massive quadruceps.
