Teams & Riders The Amazing Race to Most Top10 Without a Win

[Sciatic]

No, he finished in the top 10 in Paris-Bourges. Paris-Tours is on Sunday.

Oops, sorry! So if did top 10!on Sunday he would reach 22?

Yes. And Matthews won't be riding again this year, while Coquard might do some of the French races next week, too.

What are the rules in case of a tie? Fewest race days?

Most top20s?

If Coquard finishes in the top 10 in Paris-Tours (though I doubt he will), he'll also reach 22.

I went with most second place finishes when Capiot and Majka tied in 2019.

 

[RedheadDane]

And, we have a tie in the top!

Matthews is still in the lead. They both have one second place this year, but Matthews has five third places while Coquard only has four. Coquard can overtake him next week, though.

I thought the tie-breakers would only be used if they both ended their seasons with the same amount of top-10s.

Yes, but that is currently the case, so Coquard needs another top 10 if he wants to win the title. Of course he might be so unfortunate that he misses out, because he mistakenly wins Grand Prix du Morbihan and/or Boucles de l'Aulne - Châteaulin.

It's all or nothing, now!

[Netserk]

After the Giro, Almeida would have been in the lead here with two 2nd places.

 

[tobydawq]

I think the tie-breaker should be fewest 11th places.

 

[will-10]

least race days as tiebreaker?

I'd have to do extra work for those ones.

 

[Andy262]

Coquard leading this in tremendous style. Getting pipped on the line at Morbihan.

Chapeau, that's how to win this competition.

Coquard saved you some extra work.

 

[tobydawq]

I'd have to do extra work for those ones.

How long does it really take to check two riders on PCS and skim for 11th places, though?

I know that if you had to track it during the season it would require more.

 

[Ricco']

Coquard leading this in tremendous style. Getting pipped on the line at Morbihan.

Chapeau, that's how to win this competition.

If he wins tomorrow it will be the biggest fail in pro cycling since Alaphilippe's 2020 LBL.

Or it would just be a nice finish to a disappointing season...

Are you implying that riders would rather win bike races, than his - super important - competition?

Yes.

Yes.

They need to get their priorities straight.
