It wasn't a vote for your favourite rider pollI voted for Primož Roglič.
Do you also have a breakdown between GC wins, stage wins and one-day wins in your spreadsheet? (and as a curiosity, it'd be fun to include career race days/mileage)According to my spreadsheet (which on this parameter is not as thorougly fact-checked as the win stat) this is how the current pros rank in WT wins (including Olympic road races and World Championships road races):
1: Sagan - 72
2: Cavendish - 69
3: Valverde - 60 (includes wins from 2003 and 2004 in future WT races)
4: Roglic - 44
5: Froome - 35
6: Gilbert - 32
6: Sam Bennett - 32
8: Pogacar - 31
9: Ewan - 30
10: Viviani - 27
10: Matthews - 27
12: Alaphilippe - 25
13: Van Aert - 24
13: Porte - 24
15: Boasson Hagen - 23
15: Nibali - 23
15: Quintana - 23
18: Gaviria - 22
19: Démare - 21
20: Degenkolb - 20
20: Simon Yates - 20
So, in conclusion, 100 WT wins is impossible. Unless, maybe, your name is Tadej Pogacar.
It wasn't a vote for your favourite rider poll
The fact that he is my favorite riders doesn't change much. A day or two back there was an article in local media. Due to Govekar winning for the firs time in the elite.
Od Slovencev sta bila mlajša le Pogačar in Mohorič
Matevž Govekar je izjemno začel prvo sezono v ekipi svetovne serije, saj se je pri dobrih 22 letih veselil prve zmage med profesionalci. Od Slovencev, ki trenutno vozijo za ekipe najmočnejše konkurence, sta bila mlajša le Tadej Pogačar in Matej Mohorič.www.rtvslo.si
Looking at the stats the most ever wins per season by a Slovenian was 13. Roglič in 2019 and 2021. And Pogačar in 2021 and 2022.
Hence even if numbers do start do drop in the following seasons. There is no special reason he wouldn't reach 100 by the end of his career. Considering he will likely attempt Giro-Vuetla double at some point. A whole lot of opportunities for wins.
We'll see.
Anyway, did you vote in anyone else besides Roglič?
Don't vote Pogacar for 100 but vote him for 200. Nice@KZD
Then again he got injured and won nothing at the Tour. Besides the minor fact he being pivotal for JV success.
Point being lets first wait for the season to end. And after to count.
No.
P.S. If there will ever be a poll for 200. Then i might consider voting for Pogačar.
Don't vote Pogacar for 100 but vote him for 200. Nice
There needs to be some level of respect involved. Considering his age and current shape hence the question if Roglič can reach a 100 is in my opinion a fair question. Assumptions he is now already down to at best 4 to 5 wins per season are in my opinion a bit disrespectful. But OK. We are used to it. Him being a ski jumper and all that. As for asking if Pogačar will win a 100. This is in my opinion not really a respectful question. Hence ask a better question. Worth answering. As otherwise what are we all doing here? Wasting time on silly questions. We can't have that.

Cool. It makes sense, but it's also a bit weird with NCTTs as one-day races.
Cavendish 78
Sagan 68
Valverde 58
(excludes World Champs. Valverde's include ones that were before the WT/PT or were excluded when the UCI and race owners were at war)
Yep. Only Merckx is way above that number (if we count Super Prestige Pernod as a WT predecessor). Cipollini is maybe close, Van Looy, De Vlaeminck and Kelly too, although I think they're slightly below that milestone.
Those numbers seem way off. I checked De Vlaeminck real quick and just the wins listed on his pcs homepage would amount to quite a bit more than 58 all WT.First Cycling do an approximation for older riders based on the current WT
Of those you mention:
Merckx 153
Cipollini 94
Van Looy 84
Kelly 75
De Vlaeminck 58
Those numbers seem way off. I checked De Vlaeminck real quick and just the wins listed on his pcs homepage would amount to quite a bit more than 58 all WT.
First thing I notice is that TA only appears twice in the list, while it should appear over 20 times (stage victories + GCs)I made an edit. It's (mostly) based on the Super Prestige Pernod
Demare - Yes
Viviani - No
Roglic - No
Groenewegen - No
Ewan - No
Pogacar - Yes
Van der Poel - No
Van Aert - No
Evenepoel - Yes
I haven't checked, but I don't think so.As do the majority.
Which riders will reach 100 pro wins?
