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 going to kill you but rating Induráin above Pogacar is just pure stubbornness and way way way too Tour-minded.
 
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.
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.

Twins.


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.

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."
