Riders to reach 100 pro wins

[tobydawq]

Narrator's voice: He should.

I know.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

So it has taken Pogacar 3 days less than 4 years to get from his first win to his 50th.

So I guess that sets an above/below of 15 February 2027 for him reaching 100.

I'll go above (ie after than that date), because I think he will do fewer large haul races like his home tour.

Well if he keeps doing spring races he'll do it sooner.

For comparison. If we take Rogličes 4 best seasons. He won 48 times. He only won 6 times last year. Hence hopefully this year there will be a slight increase in wins again.

He's apparently racing so much less, though.

 

[CyclistAbi]

He's apparently racing so much less, though.

Yeah. With his current schedule. He is targeting 3 wins?

We'll see.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Kristoff is getting closer and closer to 100, slow and steady.

 

[Netserk]

Rogla also has better prospects now.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Only one win for Démare in Boucles de la Mayenne wasn't perfect for him, but he should still be able to gain those additional 8 victories, unless Gaudu manages to bully him out of the peloton after this season.

10 months later according to PCS wins:

Arnaud Démare (89) -> (92) +3
Elia Viviani (86) -> (87) +1
Primoz Roglic (64)-> (74) +10
Dylan Groenewegen (62) -> (67) +5
Caleb Ewan (57) -> (60) +3
Tadej Pogacar (43) -> (58) +15
Remco Evenepoel (33) -> (43) +10
Mathieu van der Poel (39) -> (42) +3
Fabio Jakobsen (36) -> (41) +5
Wout van Aert (38) -> (40) +2

Van Aert and Van der Poel, can't see that happening anymore. Jakobsen, Ewan and Groenewegen highly doubtful. Viviani too close to discount, but he'll need a Cavend'ish revival.

Annemiek van Vleuten joined the 100 club today, with her stage win in the Giro Donne:

Annemiek van Vleuten

Annemiek van Vleuten (born 1982-10-08 in Vleuten) is a professional road racing cyclist from Netherlands, currently riding for Movistar Team. Her best results are 2 wins in World Championships WE - Road Race and 3 wins in GC Giro d'Italia Internazionale Femminile.

Van Aert is currently at 41 wins and 32 second places. At this pace he is about as likely to reach 100 pro second places as he is to reach 100 pro wins.

That said, looking at Démarre, Ewan, Viviani or Roglic. That split between wins and 2nd places is not really unusual. Mainly Evenepoel (44 wins, 16 second places) and especially Pogacar (60 wins, 13 second places) have a much better average.

For Evenepoel, 8 of those 16 second places came this season alone. It's been an unusual start of the season for him in that regard. Pogacar on the other hand doesn't have a single second place this season.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Kooij reaches 25 wins (and has since reached 26) at a younger age than any of them, but I guess he is going to have a greater proportion of his race days against better sprint fields than the Tour of Britain as time progresses.

Démare is so close! But after the way this season has been going, I don't feel so sure anymore that any of them will reach 100 pro wins.

Edited to add: anyone not a sprinter.

So I guess that sets an above/below of 15 February 2027 for him reaching 100.

I'll go above (ie after than that date), because I think he will do fewer large haul races like his home tour.

Similarly, it has taken Evenepoel 4 years and 3 months to get from win 1 to number 50.

So his above/below is December 2027 for the 100. I'm sure he would quite like the TT jersey at the Haute Savoie Worlds in 2027 (possibly his last chance before that date) as the one for the landmark.

 

[Netserk]

Going by PCS:

93 - Demare
88 - Kristoff
88 - Viviani
79 - Rogla
69 - Groenewegen
62 - Pogi
50 - Evenepoel
37 - Philipsen
34 - Merlier

I think one of the Slovenes will be first to cross the 100.

You don't think Demare will get seven French SSRs over the next couple of years?

 

[CyclistAbi]

Considering his age i do feel Rogla will reach 100 first.

 

[Netserk]

Not faster than Rogla will grab 21 victories, no. I totally expect him to stall like Viviani and Kristoff.

 

[Potomac]

I voted Pogacar, Roglic and meant to include Demare as well. Can I edit my vote to add Demare?

Not when the option to do so has been manually turned off, which it appears Toby has done for this poll.

I'm amazed he found the box he needed to check to do that considering his inability to find which button lets you insert images, tbh...

Too be fair, some images I find don’t work despite both methods.

Aawww... let's stop teasing him for his inability to post images.

Let's never stop teasing him for creating that thread!

We'll stop when he posts an image here.
