Evenepoel being on there, with Almeida and Ayuso having checked off more than him, is pretty wild.
I'm not here to bash Remco, and if he were a stock I'd buy the dip right now, but the fact that people consistently argue he is the 3rd best GC rider and he just has 1 Vuelta win from back in 2022 to his name is definitely pretty wild. It's odd that he has demonstrated every skill needed to be a dominant force in isolation - ITTs, climbing, classic style days - and yet he just never seems to put it all together in the same race.

The problem with Remco is he was a dominant force (climbing) only in the Vuelta. In any other stage race, he never was dominant.

His TdF 2024 also made a strong case for him being third best GC rider, more so than his Vuelta win IMO.

But yeah, that's just one occasion where he was clearly better than all then non-Pogsi/vingos around.

4 Tours >> Roglic

It's uncommon to gather such statistics for comparison on where the very top athlete is listed in third place. So please ditch the bias and correct that. Once some other rider does better then Rogla, then you can push Rogla back. Until then the top one should be listed in top spot and challengers some level below that.

This is the correct way, you can compose your own list as you like.
