Riders to reach 100 pro wins

[repre]

Voted Pogi. Kristoff is without speed, barely wins against puncheurs and Demare completely washed.

 

[Netserk]

They went for Anders Johannessen (0 pro wins) in a break of 15 instead of chasing it down for a finish that seemed to be designed by Kristoff himself. I can scarcely believe my eyes, I never expected the Norwegians to be handing out charity rides.

As Hans Landa would say: "You are sheltering egalitarian norms, are you not?"

 

[hayneplane]

In fairness to @tobydawq , who made the poll, he was the first one to say that Kristoff probably should have been included. And did so the same day.

How many wins did Kristoff have at the time the poll was made.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

How many wins did Kristoff have at the time the poll was made.

84.

 

[hayneplane]

84.

In that case I would say he has batted well above expectations in the last 3 years and benefited from some shrewd calendar management.

Kristoff is on 84 by the way, and he just got a 3-year contract. With Uno-X he will probably ride a lot of smaller races. Maybe I should have included him.

 

[Wyndbrook]

But will any of these male superstars get there before Lorena Wiebes who is currently on 96 , doubtful I
think.
I'll get my coat.

I've mentioned the "battle" between Wiebes and Pogačar before. However I hadn't really considered how close she and Kristoff were.

While Wiebes is the best sprinter on the women's side, she's listed to ride multiple races which might not end in a sprint, or at least not ones where she'll be present. She could still reach 100 before the end of March, which is (possibly) less likely to be the case for the Norwegian. It would help him a lot if he wins tomorrow.

Pfft! Wiebes is on her way to winning 200.

 

[Wyndbrook]

Pfft! Wiebes is on her way to winning 200.

She needs to be if she wants to get close to the 255 road wins Vos currently has.

I didn't realize how rare it is for someone to reach 100 wins. In the last 10 years there has only been 2 riders achieving this, Peter Sagan and Alejandro Valverde. And now we can have 2 or even 3 riders doing it this year alone, In the past 45 years there has only been 14 riders doing it.

Nowadays, I think riders are trying more to reach 100 wins in their careers. And there is also more longevity in cycling due to training and nutrition.

How many of Pogacar's 91 wins are WT? Quick count tells me something like 65?
He is on his wag to reach 100 WF wins.

I will count WC too but I think it is a little more. 70 WT wins

Counted 69. 70 if you count WCRR (not sure if you could consider it WT)

I think Roglic can still make it, but not sure it will be with a lot of WT wins. At least not if he keeps riding like this

Extra-ordinary generosity to Sam Bennett there

Compensating for all the harsh remarks he has received.

 

[Netserk]

His 8 victories last year were all WT, and he delivered the best climbing performance of his career on the road to his Vuelta win. He can pick up a handful of WT victories before summer.

Like I said, if he keeps riding like this he won't. This spring he wouldn't win anything at this level. I do have to say I forgot he was the only bigger name doing the Giro. There he can get a 2-3 wins. He won't win anything in Dauphine with Pogi and Vingo there, same goes for TDF.

It was the same tale last year after Paris-Nice. And then he won the Itzulia ITT (and Dauphiné as his next race).

Vingegaard and Evenepoel crashed out so not sure what you expected in Dauphine. He won the ITT indeed, there is no ITT in Catalunya not to mention after today I doubt he would beat Vingegaard again.

Does it make you feel better if I say I also don’t expect Evenepoel to win anything this spring unless he rides Romandie?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It was the same tale last year after Paris-Nice. And then he won the Itzulia ITT (and Dauphiné as his next race).

He was definitely worse here than he was in Paris-Nice last year, though. Both the MTF and the TT should have been right up his alley and he was nowhere near, whereas in Paris-Nice he was at least in the mix on three out of four GC days. Catalunya and the Tour are not going to be particularly lucrative given the competition, so if that + the Giro is all he's racing until summer then he would likely need a farmy stage race in the autumn to be able to match last year's 8 wins. And that's assuming he hasn't actually gone down a level over the winter, because if he has he definitely isn't getting to 100 by the end of his career without meaningful farming.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Dauphiné was won due to Vingegaard's absence. This year he will not win more than 5 races
