I've been there once, it was not really much to write home about. He should have stayed in Vienna.
Can you get them to play falco vienn calling? thanks
An all time great is a rider like:
Merckx (GOAT)
Hinault (second GOAT)
Coppi (His popularity and wins even in a war period are beyond insane)
Anquetil (Tour's record holder, first dominant gt rider specially in the Tour and only rider to make Giro-Tour and Tour-Vuelta)
Indurain (multiple Giro-Tour winner. Tour's record holder)
LA (oh please, don't ask why I consider him an all time great).
Tadej Pogacar can't be considered an all time great when his palmares is not big enough (yet). Of course I think he is the best rider ever based on pure talent and pure physical ability but his palmares is not that legendary.
3 Tours
1 Giro
3 Lombardias
2 LBL
1 Tour de Flandres
And yes, I still rank Indurain higher than Pogacar. Kill me if you want but Tour is by far the biggest race in the world and Indurain is a 5 times winner.
I’m not saying it doesn’t qualify, I’m just saying it isn’t as pretty when you look at the results list.
I'm not going to kill you but rating Induráin above Pogacar is just pure stubbornness and way way way too Tour-minded.
Yes, honestly is quite a small quiet place and not maybe the best place I have been, but for a long weekend a bit different from the usual tourist infested places in the Danube so good to come with a friend, relax, enjoy. I will be to Vienna Monday.
I didn't see juraj or his brother, not so busy place. But very chilled people, and a lot with sagan hairs.

This popped up under the LiveStats for Super 8/Primus Classic:
Competitors with most DSQ's in career.
However, if you look closely, you'll realise they're including OTLs as DSQs, so it's nok like Daniel Babor is some kind of crazy rulebreaker who gets into fights, or does the supertuck, or gets into fights while doing the supertuck.

I like how everyones DSQ's are minor races & then theres Soupe getting DSQ'd (or OTL'd) from the big ones. Apparently stage 1 of the Haut Var Matin is a lot harder than it looks.

Three OTLs for Toms Skujins in one year (2012) is probably a record.
At least for someone who went on to have a long WT career.

Albert Withen Philipsen could have become the first rider to defend his title in the Men's Junior Road Race World Championship since Ulissi in 2007.
Insteadt, Lorenzo Finn became the first Italian to win the Men's Junior Road Race World Championship since... Ulissi in 2007.

Country of about 17 cyclists may have the greatest season in cycling history. Can any nation beat what Slovenia have done this year?
Belgium has never won all the GTs and a WC in the same season though.you mean apart from Belgium in the Merckx years?
A Giro, Tour, Worlds, Suisse, Roubaix, Liege, Lombardy, podiums everywhere & lest we forget, the Vuelta wasn't a big deal then.
3 grand tours including 15 stages, WC, Liege, strade, catalunya, dauphine and about a 90% chance of GdL. I think this year is better.
Podiums don't count for *** in my book.
Third rider since Merckx (who naturally won five) and Coppi to get four big wins in a season. With Lombardia on the horizon five even seems possible.
Twins.
www.procyclingstats.com
Of course, next to all the Yateses, Van Dijkes and Oliveiras of the world, there's also a bunch of people that makes you go "This person has a twin?" and a large group of people in the "Who even are these people?" category.
And now for an interesting statistic, but mostly just a really weird way of wording things:
Of course it's not in the same year! Would be a bit hard...
Also, like how half of these are either "Adrie Van der Poel won this race that Mathieu Van der Poel also won" or "Raymond Poulidor won this race that Mathieu Van der Poel also won."
Twins in the peloton
Are there twins in the professional peloton? The answer is yes. Active twins are Simon Yates and Adam Yates, Tobias Halland Johannessen and Anders Halland Johannessen, Vegard Stake Laengen and Øystein Stake Laengen.

Family related riders that won in the same race, but not necessarily in the same year.Of course it's not in the same year! Would be a bit hard...

Walter and Eddy Planckaert have both won the Tour of Flanders.
And what about Eddy and Axel Merckx winning the Belgian Championship?

Not many opposite-sex twins.Twins.

If counting races that have changed names then Nicolas Roche and Stephen Roche have both won the Route du Sud / Tour Midi-Pyrénées. Dan Martin also won it which is kind of family related.
