Their father Jean Paul was a cyclist as well and in his last three seasons Grandpa Rebellin was already riding.Danny and Boy van Poppel are brothers, not father and son. Embarrassing mistake.

I know and I thought that was a bit obviousTheir father Jean Paul was a cyclist as well and in his last three seasons Grandpa Rebellin was already riding.
Don't worry. I totally got the joke.I know and I thought that was a bit obvious![]()
And against Eddy in 1977. WRR in San Cristobal and Criterium du Dauphiné and a few other races. That's quite a span of time.Sean Kelly might be one of the few riders to ride against both Eddy Merckx and his superior son, Axel. Both Kelly and Axel Merckx rode Catalunya in 1993 and Driedaagse De Panne in 1994.
you can find the full list of participants from 2014 via archive.orgDoes anybody know which ex-pros rode l'Eroica in 2014? There's the potential for something unique there as there might be people who rode against both Gerrie and Roxane Knetemann as a result, but the only photos of pros I can find there are of the Rabo girls in their period costume and PFP in Gerrie's old rainbow jersey.
Axel Mercxx rode against Niklas Axelsson many times too, so there could be riders, who have raced against all three of them.Sean Kelly might be one of the few riders to ride against both Eddy Merckx and his superior son, Axel. Both Kelly and Axel Merckx rode Catalunya in 1993 and Driedaagse De Panne in 1994.
If you have both raced against a PCS clone and the rider, who was orignally cloned, would that count?So, I got curious and did a bit of snooping around. There are a bunch of riders in the pro peloton who have been riding against both a father and his son. Here are a few examples:
Mauri and Wim Vansevenant (any riders who turned pro in 2008 or earlier)
Rick and Erik Zabel (same as above)
Pavel and Alexei (2005 or earlier)
Anyone who can think of others (doesn't have to involve currently active riders)?
Pretty sure there are also riders who have raced against both "Romain Sicard" and "Romain Cardis".If you have both raced against a PCS clone and the rider, who was orignally cloned, would that count?
Elliot also raced against Dan Martin,s Dad .Malcolm Elliott was a teammate at Fagor of Stephen Roche in 1988. In 2009, at the age of 48 he raced in the Tour of Britain against Nicolas (coming 16th on GC). The year before he had raced against his nephew Dan Martin.
Johny Schleck and sonsSo which father and son couples (both professionals) have not had anyone race against both of them? To start with has there been such a father and son couple were both of them has started a GT?
On the former, I'm having a hard time tracing anybody that might have raced against Hans-Jürgen Geschke (a track rider who retired in the late 70s) and his son Simon, since Jürgen was 42 when Simon was born and they specialised in completely different types of racing. Matthias Kittel rode for SC Turbine Erfurt in the early 80s but retired in 1984 so it's unlikely anybody who rode against him rode against Marcel.So which father and son couples (both professionals) have not had anyone race against both of them?

Well, if we look at father-son couples where the father was only a pro for a short time, we could find some extra.So which father and son couples (both professionals) have not had anyone race against both of them?

But did he also ride against Corinne Poulidor?Joop Zoetemelk was both teammates with and rode against Raymond Poulidor and Adrie van der Poel.
No, but Adrie was still a son to Raymond Poulidor.But did he also ride against Corinne Poulidor?![]()
I don’t think anyone would have ridden against Davis and Taylor Phinney. Both rode the TourSo which father and son couples (both professionals) have not had anyone race against both of them? To start with has there been such a father and son couple were both of them has started a GT?
Sylvain Chavanel too. Going by PCS he rode against a Madouas in both his first and last road races as a pro.Stijn Devolder rode against Laurent Madouas and Valentin Madouas.
