ok, here is my system of ranking riders all-time:
(for 2017):
Tours
TdF 100, stage & yellow jersey 25, green jersey, polka dot jersey 5
Giro 75, stage & maglia rosa 15
Vuelta 50, stage & lead 10
Tier 1 25, stage 6
Tier 2 12, stage 4
Tier 3 5, stage 1
Tier 1: Paris-Nice, Catalunya, Pays-Basque, Romandie, Suisse
Tier 2: all other WT races
Tier 3: HC continental circuits
One-Day
Worlds, Olympic Gold 75
Worlds TT 40
Monument 50
Tier 1: 25
Tier 2: 10
Tier 3: 4
Tier 1 being E3, Gent-Wevelgem, Amstel, Flêche, San Sebastian
Tier 2 all other WT races
Tier 3 HC continental circuits (e.g. Bruxelles-Kuurne-Bruxelles)
those are purely quantitative rankings .... for the "glory" itself, I wouldn't think 2 jellow jerseys or TdF stages would equal a monument ....
