The GVA comparison was due to WVA being compared to GVA for a time, then GVA had the nickname “Greg Van Average” due to always being close but no cigar in 2nd to 4th place.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Poulidor: 90-98. Fitting if he has the highest ratio among riders with >50 second places, although I expect you can find someone who beats him.

If we're doing this category, then we need also to talk about Roj4s' 10 wins, 28 second places, 43 third places, 49 4th places and 48 5th places.

 

[CyclistAbi]

It's looking good to my bold prediction and he benefited from Vingegaard's crash in PN.

Relax, it's coming.

Or Kelderman's WorldTour results.

Rojas just didn’t like winning.

Relax, it's coming.

You are right.

 

[CyclistAbi]

You are right.

Don't be so impatient.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Watch out for Alexander Kristoff in the Tour of Norway!

 

[Norbea]

Watch out for Alexander Kristoff in the Tour of Norway!

I wonder if he is worried his little brother could beat him.

 

[shalgo]

8 wins for Brennan. Still two months shy of his 20th birthday.

 

[pihi42]

Raise your hand, I dare you, if you thought Pogi will be the FIRST to 100.

I think Roglic is still a lock to get there eventually. I was hoping this year, but maybe not.

Why do you thing it's a lock? He won't probably win any stage in July so what will he win until the end of the season?

 

[CyclistAbi]

The idea was for both Pogi and Rogla to come to the Tour carrying 99 and after to fight for 100th.

Now the tension likely to be a bit less in this regards, still, for Rogla +1 is more then enough for now. We'll see.

I said a lock the get there eventually, as in before his career is over.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I understood but without getting any wins this year. He will be 36 years old with "only" 91 wins. His decline will start sooner than later (it already started IMHO) and Roglic is not the type of rider to farm races like Demare or Kristoff.

Relax, three so far and still counting.

 

[hayneplane]

I really expected it to be Demare when the poll opened as he would be able to farm the French Cup for soft wins but for Pogacar to get there with at least 75-80% of his wins being world tour wins s staggering for a GC rider.

Hate to break it to you, but I don't think most people had that idea...

 

[CyclistAbi]

@RedheadDane

Likely better this way, otherwise both would likely focus way too much on reaching 100, then on the important things.

Pogi on this date:
100° win;
79° WT's win
