Guess Who - Game

[RedheadDane]

Did you ever get a top-10 in your homeland's GT?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No, my homeland doesn't have one. But not in the Vuelta either.

 

[RedheadDane]

I meant; did the mystery rider get a top-10 in his homeland's GT?
Also... he's French, right?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He didn't get one in the Tour, no

 

[RedheadDane]

... did he get a top-10 in the Giro, then?
Active after 1/1 2010?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

... did he get a top-10 in the Giro, then? : No, but he never actually got one in any stage race, as far as I know
Active after 1/1 2010? Yes

 

[RedheadDane]

Did he got a top-100 in a GT?
Did he last ride on a French team?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Did he got a top-100 in a GT? No
Did he last ride on a French team? If he ever really rode on a team, it would have been French

 

[RedheadDane]

Is he actually a (former) pro cyclist?
Did he ever get a top-100 in any UCI ranked race?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Christian Prudhomme?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Because of my hour long absence due to work, I'm gonna provide you with more than the standard yes/no answers


Is he actually a (former) pro cyclist? No.

Did he ever get a top-100 in any UCI ranked race?
Wikipedia and other sources (they probably reference back to Wiki) claim, that he once got a top 10 in a pro race behind one of cyclings biggest stars. The results I can find doesn't back it up though, so it may have been an amateur version of said race.
It still takes place as a pro race late in the calendar, but doesn't have the same prestige as back then.


Christian Prudhomme? Unlike Prudhomme he is actually known for his cycling abilities. He hasn't been a part of the Tour in any role other than maybe as a spectator.

 

[RedheadDane]

Did said race take place in France?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It did. But the famous rider wasn't French.

 

[RedheadDane]

Is it scheduled for this year?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

How can he be from a country that has both a GT and a Monument, but not multiple Monuments, and not be French? Belgium doesn't have a GT, Spain doesn't have a Monument, and Italy has two Monuments?

The way I understand it he is French, the famous rider - who our mystery rider finished behind in that mystery race - isn't.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

In my head I confused the race, that doesn't take place anymore, with a similar named race in the same style that does.

And yes the mystery rider is French, but the star that apparently beat him, wasn't. And that star is a winner of multiple GTs.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Eric Barone?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Eric Barone? No. He is known for his speed though, but more in the sense that you wouldn't normally see a guy like him riding a bike.

 

[RedheadDane]

Was said mystery race a one-day race?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Was said mystery race a one-day race? Yes, and I don't think he ever done anything else on the road.

 

[RedheadDane]

So... did he mainly ride on the track?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yes, at least in the latter part of his career.

 

[RedheadDane]

Did he ever participate in a Six-Day race?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Did he ever participate in a Six-Day race? No, and he has mainly/exclusively ridden alone.
