What does your toe think about Nys? Personally, i don't think he'll manage 100 wins in his career, but given his age still more likely than the bottom 3 of this list.
I'd have to see more of him to put him there, for now I only have him above Van Aert.

I should probably elevate my estimation for both Groenewegen and Merlier by 5-10 points. I think Vingegaard will maintain the trajectory needed the next three years, the question for him is how long he can be dominant (against all but one). Over the 12 months before his crash this year, he won 18 times, so he's gaining ground quickly.
 
97 wins for Demare and only 20 are WT. Pogacar has more this season...
And we should count 19 after MSR's disgrace
And all WT wins. If we count just WT wins, Pogacar is probably 25 WT wins ahead everybody else.
Yeah, I'm not trying to be a party pooper but, nonetheless the # of wins is kind of a tricky thing when it comes to sports like Cycling or Tennis.

In MotoGP, F1 and such, a win is a win.
Now... winning Indianapolis in Indy or LeMans in the WEC is a bif ot a different story, but while winning Monaco or Spa in F1 might be cooler than doing so at, idk, Baku, at the end of the day they "weigh" kind of similar.
But in Tennis, when you play this game, you have to count both a 500 and a Slam tournament as worth 1 win.
And nobody seriously thinks that way.

Same here: MVDP sits at 50 wins, of which 6 are a Monument and 1 in a WC, though.
Viviani or Sam Bennet are ahead of him when it comes to # of wins, yet they don't have similar achievements.

Very impressive too. If we take off this 2 slovenians, there is any active rider (please, don't count Cav) with more than 40 WT wins?
I don’t think so. To kind of compare everyone that’s been talked about.
Ewan 30/63
Viviani 28/89
WVA 28/49
Evenepoel 26/59
Philipsen 25/51
MVDP 22/50
Vingegaard 22/36
Demare 19/97
Merlier 19/50
EBH 18/81
Kristoff 16/95
Groenewegen 15/74
Jakobsen 14/46


Of those only Evenepoel, and Vingegaard have the best chance. Philipsen and WVA could depending on how everything goes.

Froome and Sam Bennett have more than those on this list (35 and 34 respectively). Matthews slots in in fourth (if you discount Cav and the Slovenians) at 29, Alaphilippe has 27 (counting his two Worlds wins (which would also increase the two Slovenians' tally by one)), then the next not-yet-mentioned would be Quintana, Boasson Hagen and Gaviria at 23.

But none of them bar maybe Sam Bennett, who I forgot about, have been mentioned to reach 100 wins. I listed everyone that I’ve remembered be talked about in this thread.
