Mental or random cycling statistics

[RedheadDane]

There has been at least one Danish stage win (some times more) in every French WT stage race - both men's and women's - for the last two years.

None of the top 10 highest-ranked British riders in the UCI rankings were selected for the mens' road race team in Glasgow.

How unusual is Bauke Mollema's 10 successive top 10s in San Sebastián?

I suspect that even 10 successive participations in non-home nation, non-monument is uncommon enough.

Thanks for the reminder. The first Saturday after the Tour de France....International Bauke Mollema Day

It's fairly uncommon. You should check out Cycling Statistics on Twitter. They're on the case:

It's apparently the longest streak (wholly) in the 21st century.

Since turning pro, Remco Evenepoel has only ridden one day on French soil; Chrono des Nations in 2021.

He is, however, scheduled to race on French soil quite soon.

He is?

 

[RedheadDane]

He is?

There's a stage in the Vuelta ending on Tourmalet.

I make it two days of racing in France in his whole career.

I make it two days of racing in France in his whole career.

In some of the Belgian one-day races he was probably close enough to throw an empty bidon into France.

2019 Bredene Koksijde Classic

2022 Binche - Chimay - Binche

 

[RedheadDane]

In some of the Belgian one-day races he was probably close enough to throw an empty bidon into France.

He must have a really good throwing arm!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I make it two days of racing in France in his whole career.

Five days, six stages - Chrono des Nations with both the elites and the juniors, the three-stages-in-two-days Trophée Centre Morbihan, and an OTL at the junior Paris-Roubaix.

 

[Izzyeviel]

is the juniors considered a pro level?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

is the juniors considered a pro level?

No, but obviously still part of his career. But he hasn't done a second pro race in France either, right?

 

[rallybanana]

Football, cycling, bidon-throwing...he's the new Jim Thorpe

 

[RedheadDane]

Astana has fewer wins total this season, than Pogacar, Vingegaard, and Roglic have WT wins each.

Spoiler: Race result

And yes! I am including today's result.

 

[Netserk]

There's a stage in the Vuelta ending on Tourmalet.

D'oh!

 

[RedheadDane]

D'oh!

I'm not saying I specifically mentioned it to be a bit tricky.

But I totally did.

Roglic' only GT ITT win in France is a Vuelta ITT.

Also all his 3 stage win in the Tour are road stages, while all 4 of his Giro stage wins are ITTs

 

[RedheadDane]

Also all his 3 stage win in the Tour are road stages, while all 4 of his Giro stage wins are ITTs

He has lost the Tour in an ITT.
And won the Giro in an ITT.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Roglic' only GT ITT win in France is a Vuelta ITT.

Also all his 3 stage win in the Tour are road stages, while all 4 of his Giro stage wins are ITTs

And at the Vuelta he wins both every year (counting TTT), so at least you can say Roglic is consistent.

 

[Netserk]

Roglic' only GT ITT win in France is a Vuelta ITT.

Also all his 3 stage win in the Tour are road stages, while all 4 of his Giro stage wins are ITTs

The GT specification is superfluous. That Vuelta ITT is his only ITT win in France full stop.

Roglic has two wins in races of over 210 km (the Russian roulette edition of LBL and a stage in Tirreno in 2018).

Roglic has one win in a race of over 210 km (the Russian roulette edition of LBL).

He won a 240km stage in Tirreno in 2018
