It is and it isn't. He was by far the most dominant sprinter of my lifetime (as a cycling fan), he was almost unbeatable in flat stages for 4-5 years, against mostly much bigger guys, so much that the Tour changed their traditional parcours and his palmares has its own wikipedia page. He looked certain to beat merckx's record, to much consternation among cycling fans, before things went downhill for various reasons.
But yeah, it's crazy he came even close.

I think those two, Valverde, Armstrong, and Merckx are the only ones that do.

I'm pretty sure Sagan has one as well.
After looking it up, I can say that on English Wikipedia only Cav, Greipel, Merckx, Valverde, MvdP, Cancellara, Sagan and Marianne Vos seem to have one.

How'd I forget Sagan and Cancellara. I'm surprised MvdP already has one. I just looked, Armstrong originally had one but must have lost it with everything. For a time I thought Froome had one too.

You can use my gamertag and Nintendo account name and put those stats up. Then my placings in amateur running races. You'd be the real one.
Heck, let's make a page for everyone!

Sky's the limit at this rate. Love to see him win a Grand Tour stage again.
Don't say 'Sky' you'll be giving him flashbacks

I was actually thinking maybe try the first week of Giro and go from there on continuing or withdrawing for Tour or Vuelta. Either way it would be good for him to race at a GT level.

Congratulations Manx Missile to winning small *** races, the thing he made fun of once lol But in all earnest, he has done well in getting a second spring. After making some questionable team decision and being lackluster, he made the right call to return to Lefevre and now he pays him back with some great performances. The joy of winning is very visible on his face.
