Mental or random cycling statistics

GB...really?
I would think rowing. Or maybe rowing is first? Equestrian?

1. Athletics
2. Cycling
3. Rowing

Cycling is 16 gold medals behind athletics but if British track cycling can return to its 2008-2020 lvl then they could close that gap in 4 games.

I admit that I had to check what was the old name of this team.

And finished 8th. Today's teenagers got nothing on him.

Neither Cofidis nor Movistar will be in the survey for "Last WorldTeam to get a win".

Will the forum software cope?

He was only 17 during the 1909 Giro.

What does the following riders have in common?

Yukia Arashiro
Simon Clarke
Jakob Fuglsang
Alexander Kristoff
Steven Kruijswijk
Bauke Mollema*
Wout Poels
Geraint Thomas

I'll give you a hint: It's about their ages, and people on the opposite end of the scale.

More than double the age of a teammate?

No.

They're all old froggers, apart from Mollema, which is indicated by the star next to his name.

They're all gonna be part of a new cycling remake of Mamma Mia!, in which Albert Withen Philipsen tries to find out who his real dad is.

 

[tobydawq]

No.

Older than you?

 

[RedheadDane]

Older than you?

Well, yes... but that's not the point!

No...

But it does have to do with Withen.

Their age is more than half their weight?

 

[tobydawq]

Well, yes... but that's not the point!



No...

But it does have to do with Withen.

They're older than him!

 

[RedheadDane]

They're older than him!

Again, not the point... quite a few people are older than he is...

 

[Netserk]

They all raced before he was born.

 

[RedheadDane]

They all raced before he was born.

Yes! More specifically, they'd signed a contract on at least conti level (pretty sure the team G was on in 2005 was Pro-Conti) before he - and Paul Seixas - was even born.

Mollema's contract was only a trainee contract. However, since trainee contracts start on 1/8 and Withen and Seixas are both from September, it still counts.

Now you have to make me a cake.

I want a prize too.

You don't get a prize for not guessing it.

BTW, please double-check this claim:

More than double the age of a teammate?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

There's a Toby Price and the Toby Awards will take place next week.
