Stybar 2nd in Paris Roubaix was the most forgettable, I guess because it can from a group

Re:

More random trivia time:

Only team to win stages in all three Grand Tours and podium in all five Monuments?

I would think quickstep or lotto.

I think Liege was more forgettable. A shame really that Gerrans was too old and had a poor season. He would have fitted right in in that horrible edition.

Re:

Back for a yearly appointment in this topic: can you name the top 100 riders of the CQ Ranking 2017?

Let me know how many right answers you got...

If you want to play the same game of the previous years:

https://www.sporcle.com/games/HeiligeGraal/cq-ranking-2015-cycling
https://www.sporcle.com/games/HeiligeGraal/cq-ranking-2014-cycling

72, but I missed some I shouldn't have. (Alaphilippe, Majka, Barguil, Dennis, Thomas, Dillier etc.)
Highest I missed was Teuns at 38.

Nice little series of quizzes:

https://www.sporcle.com/games/tobydawq/cycling-worldtour-2013

https://www.sporcle.com/games/tobydawq/cycling-worldtour-2012-copy (is actually the 2016 version)


Does the author seem familiar to you?

Got a 2017 edition planned?

I guess I'm a bit late at answering this (I hadn't seen that my quizzes had been promoted here before just now - and what is 15 months on this part of the forum anyway?), but no I don't think it'll work anymore since the WorldTour has become too big for the 300 maximum answers allowed. Additionally, someone copied the idea and made a running quiz for 2017 with the only difference being that you should only name top 3s in the one-day races.

So I don't feel like it's worth it.

BUT! I'm currently making an alternative quiz for the 2018 Tour de France which I plan to copy for many Grand Tours going back in time. I think the nation/team clue has gone a bit stale, so this will be with different hints and random questions.

ETA this evening or early next week. I'll post it here when it's done.

By the way, I also made quizzes for 2010 and 2009 but they're called World Ranking instead of WorldTour.

As advertised above (though, noone has probably seen it yet), I have made a new type of quiz. I think it's more fun than the usual quizzes but am obviously biased.

Try it out and feel free to give feedback.

Ha, I played it yesterday but didn't make the connection to you. It's a good quiz with a nice little twist. Just way too hard for me considering I didn't get to watch a single stage.

Good quiz but another 5 minutes would help

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah, that was a tough one! Especially when you only remember overall facts - stage winners and jersey wearers - not various details.

Who's GT debut is this?

Haimar.

Is there any 2019 version of the winners of the WorldTour you guys know about?

CYCLING 2018: WINNERS OF THE WORLD TOUR

Can you name the winners, podium finishers, stage winners, and other jersey competition winners in all UCI World Tour road racing events in 2018?

Here:

Cycling World Tour 2019

Can you name the Cycling World Tour 2019 stage winners and Top 3 of GCs?

And here's also a rather interesting one about the transfers for next season:

When I get time later in the fall, I plan on making quizzes for all three Grand Tours, similar to what I have posted for the Tour and the Giro previously in this thread, but they take a while to make.

And to those who have said that the time is a bit too short: I'm sorry, I would like there to be no time limit, but Sporcle doesn't allow for that. Maximum time for a quiz is 20 minutes.

 

[Breh]

Nice! I really liked the Giro one. Tour one was too hard for me considering I couldn't watch a single stage.

 

[tobydawq]

The Tour quiz is up:

https://www.sporcle.com/games/tobydawq/2019-tour-de-france-by-random-hint

Sadly, I still can't make the time limit more stretchy than 20 minutes, so I think it's very hard to complete this in one try. But there is no rule against trying several times

I hope to also make Giro and Vuelta versions later in December.

Here's the PCS cycling quiz. Each round is ten questions of a wide range of themes.

[tobydawq]

PCS have come up with a better quiz: Name the rider based off a picture. Quite fun. Unless you're a slow typist or a bad speller, then I imagine it's a drag.

My record is around 30, I think.

24 at first try.
Marc Sarrou is the mistake, I recognise him but the name didn't come to my mind in time.
