Zerseney Tadese was always very impressive. Always went to the front and really put the hammer down but could never drop Bekele.

Komen, of course.
Alan Webb?
Tergat and Komen are excellent picks. From the same era, Noah Ngeny certainly deserves mention.

The OP didn't ask who was the quintessential sidekick. Komen > Sihine.
