In a new run of features, Cyclingnews sits down with some of the sport's well-known personalities as they pick their cycling dream teams. This week, 2003 Tour de France green jersey winner Baden Cooke selects his dream team of nine riders.
The rules:
- Dream teams must feature nine riders, one of which can be the rider selecting the team, in which case they pick eight riders to join them.
- The riders picked must have all ridden with the person picking the team. That means you can’t just pick the eight or nine best riders of a generation.
Sprinter: Baden Cooke

My role in my dream team would be the sprinter. With such a super strong team I think that we could be greedy and target the overall GC and also the sprint stages. This team would always be riding for the guy that would offer the best chance of winning. Egos would be left at the door. We would be often putting a lot of pressure on the other teams in the cross winds or in tough finishes. When I wasn't sprinting I would be helping put the three leaders in place for the climbs.
