[Netserk]

Both France and Belgium have won it 10 times (1930-1967).

Does the team have to have the same name, or does C.A. and Z count as one team?

France and Belgium at 10 each was the answer I was looking for.

Your turn...

 

[Netserk]

List the most recent 'record' of GT, WC (only RR) and monument wins in one season. So you start by mentioning the most recent rider to have won one of them, then the most recent to have won two of them (in one season), then the most recent to have won three of them (in one season), and so forth.

I want rider name, race(s) and year.

That's evil

If I understand correctly you're looking for a table like this?

1. Chris Horner - Vuelta 2013
2. Fabian Cancellara - P-R and RVV 2013
3. Tom Boonen - P-R, RVV, WC RR 2005

etc etc will need to start a spreadsheet for the rest!

 

[fraserhughes]

4. Eddy Merckx - P-R, LBL, Giro, Vuelta 1973

 

[fraserhughes]

5. Eddy Merckx - MSR, LBL, Lombardia, Tour, Giro 1972

 

[ColAgnel]

I think he means, GT,WWR,Monument in same season.

 

[Netserk]

Fraserhughes has understood correctly, but his list is incorrect.

edited, miss-understood.

Doh.

1 should obviously have been Purito @ Lombardia!

There are probably other errors too...

 

[Netserk]

With the correction of Merckx and Purito, fraserhughes has answered correctly.

 

[fraserhughes]

What was slowest ever avg. speed for a GT?

What year was it and what other record was set that year?

 

[Netserk]

Tour 1919? 24.1 kmph

It was also the Tour with fewest finishers.

 

[ColAgnel]

What was slowest ever avg. speed for a GT?

What year was it and what other record was set that year?

Giro 1914 @ 23.374 km/h?

1914 Tour De France with most winners at start ever? 11 it was.

 

[fraserhughes]

Giro 1914 @ 23.374 km/h?

1914 Tour De France with most winners at start ever? 11 it was.

Correct. I thought that was obscure enough to last more that 10 mins - well done.

 

[ColAgnel]

Nice. I pass, you do the question again.

 

[fraserhughes]

Okay, give me a minute....

 

[fraserhughes]

What is the largest time gap between the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in a GT?

Name the GT, the size of the gap and the riders...

 

[Netserk]

Tour 1913, 3h22'18'', Gustave Garrigou & Marcel Buysse?

 

[fraserhughes]

Tour 1913, 3h22'18'', Gustave Garrigou & Marcel Buysse?

Nope, think that is the second largest gap...

 

[Netserk]

I think I have gone through all GTs prior to WW2 and haven't spotted a bigger gap than that in 1913, so I could use a hint

 

[fraserhughes]

The first 4 riders in the initial GC where all disqualified for cheating (getting the train etc!). Does that help?

 

[LaFlorecita]

What is the largest time gap between the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in a GT?

Name the GT, the size of the gap and the riders...

Tour 1904, Jean-Baptiste Dortignacq and Aloïs Catteau, 5h51'06" ?!

 

[LaFlorecita]

I hope I calculated the time gap correctly

 

[Netserk]

1904 , Jean-Baptiste Dortignacq and Aloïs Catteau, 6h45'11''.
