Riders to reach 100 pro wins

[ingsve]

Someone who shouldn't be overlooked for this milestone is Alexander Kristoff. He is currently on 91 pro wins (edit: 92 now) and he will at least be riding next year as well. He already has 3 wins this season so he still have the capacity to win pro races.

+1 for Kristoff.

Yeah, get it ol’ man.

Yeah, it's quite astonishing how he has turned the tables the last few weeks.

10 wins in total between 2020 and 2023 didn't really suggest he'd have it in him but now it suddenly again looks like a glaring omission from the list.

One important factor this season I believe is Tord Gudmestad. He has done some cracking lead outs for him this year. Gudmestad seems to have a very strong sprinting endurance as well. Today he held on and finished 5th after leading Kristoff out.

Yeah, because he obstructed half the field from sprinting... but besides today he's been really solid

Don't know what sprint you watched but I can't see any obstruction. If some riders were expecting someone in front of them to just give up and go to the side then that's their fault but when someone is sprinting in front of you you need to get past then and not expect them to make way for you.

He clearly goes right back in behind Kristoff, thus obstructing all the other sprinters. I can't really see how that's debatable.

Kristoff would probably have won anyway but not even Alpecin have made such egregious moves yet.

He continues to sprint after his lead-out and gets 5th. I don't have a problem with a team where more than one rider sprints at the finish.

There's nothing unusual in taking the wheel of a rider who passes you, so I don't see how that's "egregious" by your description of it.

I might have to rewatch again but doesn't he go to the left side of Kristoff's back wheel after having been passed by himon Kristoff's right side?

It's probably a bit hard to see exactly from a head-on shot.

The only unusual thing is that he keeps sprinting even after Kristoff passes him but because he keeps sprinting he should be treated like any other person in the sprint and as such I don't see him doing anything any other sprinter wouldn't do.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar will be the first active rider (bar Cav) to reach 100 wins. Demare is cooked and Kristoff is getting older and older.

Rogla is back on track after a poor spring.

Tadej can make it next year.

Tadej can make it next year.

Or this year... if I understand correctly, he's on 87. He just needs 13 more...

Aah, I see. I went to the results section, but for some reason that includes Jr races, even if you select cat.1 or higher.

Démare has not yet turned 33, but he looks washed. I guess I still shouldn't write him off after his wins last year.

I'm quite confident that Kristoff and both Slovenes will make it.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kristoff has averaged 3 wins per season since 2020 (counting 2024 as two-thirds of a season) and 3.6 wins per season since joining Uno-X. At the latter rate, he makes it exactly if he keeps going until the end 2026 (when he's 39), at the former rate, he needs another (half-)season on top of that.

So I would say Démare is actually by far the likelier of the two. Been suffering from injuries and fitness issues all year, but even if age is coming for him he basically needs to replicate one of his lesser seasons one more time to get there (always at least 4 wins per year since 2016 before this season). If this season is not his new normal, he is still almost guaranteed to do so.

On their profile page on PCS, in the general "overview" tab, there is an info block called "Key Statistics". The number of pro wins should be listed there.
