I've been there once, it was not really much to write home about. He should have stayed in Vienna.

Is Sagan there? Not Juraj.

Almost?

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.

 

[shalgo]

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.

I would like to say GT minded but yes, I put LA there due to his 7 TDF wins

Is Sagan there? Not Juraj.

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.

Perfect preparations for half marathon.event.im 2 weeks , few bee

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.

 

[Izzyeviel]

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.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

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.

 

[RedheadDane]

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.

 

[AmRacer]

Tadej Merckx 2024 season.

 

[BigCoward]

Country of about 17 cyclists may have the greatest season in cycling history. Can any nation beat what Slovenia have done this year?

you mean apart from Belgium in the Merckx years?

 

[YavorD]

you mean apart from Belgium in the Merckx years?

Belgium has never won all the GTs and a WC in the same season though.

 

[Izzyeviel]

A Giro, Tour, Worlds, Suisse, Roubaix, Liege, Lombardy, podiums everywhere & lest we forget, the Vuelta wasn't a big deal then.

 

[BigCoward]

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.

 

[Panda Claws]

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.

 

[RedheadDane]

Twins.

Twins in the peloton

Are there twins in the professional peloton? The answer is yes. Active twins are Jan Riedmann and Linda Riedmann, Maria Fernanda Torres and Valentina Torres, Matteo Sanarini and Linda Sanarini.

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:

Same race​

Family related riders that won in the same race, but not necessarily in the same year.

Date last win	Rider	Rider	Race
2024-09-22	VAN DER POEL Adrie	VAN DER POEL Mathieu	Tour de Luxembourg ()
2024-08-24	BANASZEK Alan	BANASZEK Norbert	Tour Battle of Warsaw (2.2)
2024-03-31	VAN DER POEL Adrie	VAN DER POEL Mathieu	Ronde van Vlaanderen / Tour des Flandres (SPP)
2023-09-08	VAN POPPEL Danny	VAN POPPEL Boy	Tour of Britain (2.Pro)
2023-06-18	POULIDOR Raymond	VAN DER POEL Mathieu	Ronde van België / Tour de Belgique ()
2023-06-04	YAMAMOTO Genki	YAMAMOTO Masaki	Tour de Kumano (2.2)
2023-04-30	BERNARD Jean-François	BERNARD Julien	Tour de Romandie (SPP)
2023-03-18	POULIDOR Raymond	VAN DER POEL Mathieu	Milano-Sanremo (SPP)
2022-09-09	YAMAMOTO Genki	YAMAMOTO Masaki	Tour de Hokkaido (2.2)
2022-08-12	GROENEWEGEN Dylan	MARKUS Barry	Arctic Race of Norway (2.Pro)

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."

 

[Pantani_lives]

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.

 

[rallybanana]

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.
