Mental or random cycling statistics

I want to know did Lecerf change his nationality between 2024 and 2025 so you didn't count him and what nationality he is now?

I just completely missed him scrolling down the results...

I can inform you that Patrick Eddy has now infiltrated this cluster and is fourth last, so now only 6 of the bottom 7 are from the 2025 Giro.

(and yes, the primary reason for bringing this up again was to give you a headache)

I spent multiple minutes reading the original post and I still have no idea what this statistic means

Superman and Ayuso winning white jerseys after their best-ever GT result when that result is only 3rd is wild. Bonus points to Superman for having multiple best-ever results prior to his final white jersey, and to Ayuso for winning his first white jersey after his sole GT podium.

Mythical Superman. A maverick!

That's a very very cool list Redhead made..thanks

Pogacar can equal Fausto Coppi with five wins in the Giro di Lombardia. Moreover he would be the first with five consecutive wins in a monument. Which other riders have won the same professional road race five or more times in a row?

• Miguel Indurain: 5x Tour de France
• Roger De Vlaeminck: 6x Tirreno-Adriatico
• Sean Kelly: 7x Paris-Nice

If we include national championships the records of consecutive wins are even higher.

• Tony Martin: 8x German Time Trial Championship
• Nicolas Frantz: 12x Luxembourgish Road Race Championship

And here are some women with a lot of consecutive wins:

• Anna van der Breggen: 7x Flèche Wallone
• Jeannie Longo: 11x French Road Race Championship
• Christine Majerus: 16x Luxembourgish Time Trial Championship

There are probably more examples.
