No, that wasn't my point. Brits stereotypically don't like winners.

I'd say that stereotypically, we like losers ( of the plucky kind) rather than not liking winners.

But such generalisations are not worth much... for example ...

...we also like winners hence the adulation of Wiggins, Jonny Wilkinson and so on.

I like Cummings because he does the unexpected - repeatedly. I quite like to see the bunch get mugged.

Fignon as he started my interest in cycling. Current favourites are Tony Martin(The turn he did at the front in Paris Roubaix was unbelievable). kryienka similar to Martin simply dishes out pain at the front of the peleton.

Like your choice of Tony Martin. Was amazed with how he won a TdF stage with a teammate's bike near the end of the stage. It's had to imagine such a talent doing domestique duties at times.

Fignon got you started? Fignon renewed my interest when he lost to Lemond on the last day of the TdF time trial. So fortunate to have seen that live on TV.
