Riding Against both Father and Son

[shalgo]

This doesn't exactly fit under the topic of this thread, but another longevity-related statistic occurred to me after seeing both Rebellin and Ghirmay in the GP Industria & Artigianato results. Ghirmay was born in 2000. That means that Rebellin has competed against riders born in the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, 1970s, 1960s, and 1950s (Sean Kelly, for example). Has anyone else competed against riders born in six different decades?

What makes you so sure there weren't any riders left from the 40's when Rebellin started in the peloton? (Hennie Kuiper appears to have come close, and Zoetemelk was just a little too old...)

Philippe Gilbert has raced against Johan and Stefano Museeuw.

Since we've been discussing this topic, interesting article in Marca. We have this about the 3 sets of father and son pairings he's raced against (not just racing at the same time, but actually raced in the same races as).
The 3 sets are:
Erik and Rick Zabel, Nicola and Riccardo Minali, and Erik and David Dekker

Que pase el siguiente para Valverde. ¡Alejandro ha competido contra tres parejas de padres e hijos!

Alejandro Valverde, que este martes sufrió más de lo previsto en la subida al Jebel Hafeet en la tercera etapa del Tour de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, puede presumir tras esta carr

That's not a complete list, though - more like lazy journalism. Valverde also raced against both Farazijn father and son. Against Peter Farazijn e.g. at Milan-Sanremo 2002, against Maxime Farazijn at Flèche Wallonne 2017.

Indeed, but what is notable is that he raced against Rick Zabel, Riccardo Minali and David Dekker in the UAE Tour after racing against Erik Zabel, Nicola Minali and Erik Dekker at Tirreno-Adriatico and Milano-Sanremo in 2002.

Dries Devenyns rode on the same Davitamon/Predictor/Silence-Lotto team as Wim Vansevenant from 2006-08 (racing together 10 times), and is now (and was last season) on the same Deceuninck Quickstep team as Mauri, sharing 7 race days so far.

I know the thread title was "Racing against both father and son", but this seems more noteworthy.

Oscar Sevilla, who was once a teammate of Erik Zabel, raced against Rick Zabel for the first time at the 2023 Vuelta a San Juan. In the same race, he also completed the father and son set against Dmitri and Alexander Konychev.

Nibali has raced against Fran and Vladimir Miholjevic.
Not sure about Caruso, was he a team-mate with the father?

Edit: Nope, but he raced against both.

Everyone who raced the Vuelta a Tachira in 2021 raced against both Jose and Jeison Rujano, probably the only instance of father and son riding together on the same team.

Jos van Emden and Maciej Bodnar are around long enough to have raced against Magnus Bäckstedt.

They both raced against Elynor Bäckstedt in the 2023 World Championships - Mixed Relay TTT.

Is this the first case of riding against father and daughter?
