Mental or random cycling statistics

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

The gap between Frank Vandenbroucke's second-to-last and last UCI win was nine years, six months and eleven days.

Andrea Tafi, Steffen Wesemann and Nick Nuyens never won a race again after winning the Ronde van Vlaanderen.

Ivan Gotti has won only four five UCI races, two of which were the GCs of the Giro d'Italia.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Vincenzo Nibali has gone longer without a stage win in the Giro than in both the Tour and the Vuelta.

Alberto Contador never won another Tour stage after 2009, meaning his last-ever Tour stage victory was a TT. He also doesn't officially have a Giro stage to his name as those in 2011 were stripped.

By taking his eighth Tour stage on Friday, Tadej Pogacar now has more Tour stage wins than any other Tour GC winner since Pantani, who also has eight (not including Armstrong's stripped results). He also has more professional wins than Cavendish did at this age, and just four less than Froome managed in his entire career.

Joaquim Rodriguez never won the GC in a professional race outside of Spain.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Oh, and a bonus statistic that might come to fruition soon: if Mauri Vansevenant starts a Tour before Cofidis score another stage win, their dry streak will comprise stages that both Mauri and his father took part in. Same goes for Igor Arrieta.

Remco Evenepoel's dad, Mathieu Van der Poel's dad and Wout Van Aert's dad's cousin where all teammates at Collstrop in 1994

When Thomas de Gendt rode the 2021 Tour of Norway it was the first non-World Tour race he had ridden for four years (excluding Belgian nationals)

Andy Schleck's last victory was before Chris Froome's first victory. But Froome is a month older than Schleck.

Ivan Gotti has won only four UCI races, two of which were the GCs of the Giro d'Italia.

Gotti won 5 UCI wins: two Giro stages and two Giro GCs as well as a stage in the Volta a Catalunya.

Both PCS and FirstCycling also says he won the 1999 GP Nobili Rubinetterie. PCS list it as having been a 1.1 race, but FC says it was national event. However Wikipedia claims Salvatore Commesso won it.

Anyone here who watched the race and can confirm the actual result?

 

[noob]

That was my first thought, too.

Me too. I am so confused now :O

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Tadej Pogacar has never beaten Fausto Masnada in a grand tour.

99.9% of people who post in this forum are whack jobs.

I have no idea what you're basing that statement on!

 

[Red Rick]

Contador not racing a Giro or Vuelta wothout winning until he was 33 is pretty mental

Chris Froome won his final GT before he won his first GT

 

[Netserk]

Gotti won 5 UCI wins: two Giro stages and two Giro GCs as well as a stage in the Volta a Catalunya.

According to @fox, his GC wins don't count, so he only has 3 wins.

On the archived pages of the organiser you can read that in 1999 the GP Nobili was the Italian Championships in Arona, won by Salvatore Commesso.

I guess PCS and FC copied the wrong info.

You can even watch it on Youtube:

At 1:21, just after the finish you can see the banner GP Nobili Rubinetterie.

If everybody was disqualified from every race where they were 30 or older, Romain Bardet would be a 2-time TdF winner and a world champion. Instead he‘s never won a WT stage race or one day race.

 

[hayneplane]

Marianne Vos has ridden 11 Giri and won at least one stage in each of them.

Miguel Indurain never won a Vuelta stage. Neither did Greg LeMond

Bernard Hinault never finished outside the podium in a GT he finished, and he lead the race at some point in all those he rode. He never won Paris-Nice.

Eddy Merckx won pretty much everything except for Paris-Tours. Both he and Hinault had a 6th place as their best result in that race.

Freddy Maertens never won a monument.

Not only did Jaan Kirsipuu never finish a GT in 15 starts, he never even made it to the third week of one.

The runner-up in the Tour de France have had a given name starting with J 23 times. J first names are also most common among thrid place finishers with 19.
The race has been won by someone with a given name starting with L 20 (or13) times. The 2000 and 2001 Tours are the only ones to have had an L winner, a J runner-up and a J in third place.

I know the calendar was different that time with the placement of the Vuelta but very surprised that as a Spaniard Indurain showed such a lack of interest in his home Grand Tour.

Kudos also to @Mosul for that remarkable German Champs Elysee stage stat

2021 Greipel 5th, Walscheid 10th

So Degenkolb and Walscheid have the whole pressure on their shoulders to keep the streak going this year, as the other viable option (Krieger) should be on team duties in that stage.

Oh my god, that really is a mental statistic.

That's some serious pressure to preserve the streak

 

[shalgo]

Remco Evenepoel's dad, Mathieu Van der Poel's dad and Wout Van Aert's dad's cousin where all teammates at Collstrop in 1994

And in the Scheldeprijs that year, two out of three of them raced against Davide Rebellin.

 

[Finn84]

IIRC the rider with biggest post-stage lead margin at the Tour in this century is Francois Simon.

After today's performance Jonas Vingegaard is en route to be the first rider of the host country of the 1st stage of the Tour to win the overall in 30 years, since Miguel Indurain in 1992.

Not that bizarre a statistic given that I'm pretty sure the only Tour winners since to race a GD in the country they represent are Froome and Thomas in 2014.

If 2014 counts for Thomas, 2007 does too for Wiggins.
