Monaco

Monaco

I don't think they have WT wins...

 

[Monte Serra]

Luxembourg, most likely.

In all likelihood, the correct answer indeed.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I don't think they have WT wins...

Only if you count people living there or having a license from the Monegasque federation.

However you could perhaps count the Isle of Man, but not for both genders, I don't think (Lizzie Holden hasn't taken a WWT win yet).

San Marino

I don't know how to break this to you, but I don't they have WT wins either...

The answer also isn't Andorra.
Or Vatican City.

Now you're just listing small states. As I've often said to RhD: Please do the research.

The question doesn’t rule out ever!

Well, on the men's side... technically, because Küng is also a Liechtensteiner.

I think it was pretty clear that the question implicitly stated has claimed. Not "could possibly claim in the future".

Sweden?

So I win right???

 

[RedheadDane]

No, it has to be both.
And Küng doesn't actually ride under Liechtensteiner flag.

It doesn’t say it has to be both lol. And it says nation which couldn’t mean anything other than citizenship

Izzyeviel clarified.

both,

what is the smallest nation to claim a WT win in the mens/womens peloton?

Is it the Isle of Man?

Men: Mark Cavendish
Women: Millie Robinson - winner of the first Tour de France Féminin

 

[rallybanana]

Oneida Nation? Neilson and Shayna Powless.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Oneida Nation? Neilson and Shayna Powless.

Definitely a better suggestion than Sweden. However Swedish rider have indeed won both WT and WWT races, but Oneida National riders haven't.

 

[yaco]

Mauritius.

In the middle of July, with one week still to go of the TdF, Pogacar has so far the 6th best season ever in the CQ Ranking pontuation scheme. One more stage win and he goes to 4th place, only behind his previous 3 seasons.

It's likely that he finishes the TdF with over 4000 points. With Vuelta/OIympics/WCH/Lombardy still to go, will we have the first over 5000 points season? That would be a 36,7% improvement over the best season until 2023. Ridiculous.

Pogacar'2021 - 3656
Pogacar'2023 - 3602
Pogacar'2022 - 3398
Sagan'2016 - 3307
Roglic'2019 - 3235
Pogacar'2024 - 3221

He could with double the points of the second placed rider over the full season which is bonkers.

We know the Giro-Tour double is very rare but am curious after seeing on PCS live today the lowest combined totals of Giro-Tour GC positions since 2005 what the last time any rider completed both Giro and Tour but winning the Tour without winning the Giro beforehand. Maybe not since the 70s?
