Cobbled Classics: Ranking riders for consistency of strong results!

Apr 21, 2010

In this forum there are often discussions about who is going to win a certain race or who would feature in certain finishes, but the guys finishing regularly in the top 10 or 20, but just not getting the wins don't get that much praise for their consistency.

So this thread is about who will have the most consistent campaign in the cobbled classics.


Now we could have a little forum competition about who can pick the best team consisting of 7 riders who will get the most points out of the next four big cobbled races:

E3 Prijs Vlaanderen - Harelbeke

Ghent - Wevelgem

Ronde van Vlaanderen

Paris - Roubaix

I therefore devised a point system:

1) 50
2) 45
3) 40
4) 36
5) 33
6) 30
7) 28
8) 26
9) 24
10) 22
11) 20
12) 18
13) 16
14) 14
15) 12
16) 10
17) 8
18) 7
19) 6
20) 5

So it would be great to have a discussion about who is really going to be consistent up there this season and also this competition, where I will keep track of the points and announce the winners :).

And if you like it, we can set up a similar thread for the Ardennes Classics and other events.

yours,
Tornadin

do you really think boom will get good results in most of those races?

I'd be surprised.

My Pick:

Sagan
Boonen
Cancellara
Turgot
Roelandts
Pozzato
Thomas


@mods: I know that this would probably besser fit in the Games section, but since it already starts on Friday could you leave it in the road racing section until friday so that there will be more participants?

That don't mean nothing for this campaign.:rolleyes:

Van Asbroeck is the more talentd belgian classic rider of the last years.
Van Staeyen has done an excellent start of season with a victory and good performances.
De Vreese was 2nd in the past Paris Tours.
Vandousselaere is a nice rouleur and very fast rider. 3° in the Omloop Het Niewsblad.
Wallays and De Clerq have the conditions for shine in the main classics.
Vanbilsen is the current winner of De Ronde amateur.


They are going to impress in the big scenarys. I think one or two of them can surprise being close to win a big classic.

I moved it, but there still is a redirection in the PRR section to this thread.
