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

[Samu Cuenca]

If someone made a nice trophy and gave it to the winner, I'm sure the competition would soon get the recognition it deserves.

Coquard definitely wins. Having taken the lead yesterday, he was smart enough to simply not be in the front of the Boucles de L'Aulne today.

And with 23 he also got more than Almeida had when he cracked, so there's no doubt about it.

I hope Coquard finally gets that first major victory. He's off to a great start.

And I decided to back the right rider for once.

Apols if it's been covered before - do we have an all-time record of most top 10s in a year without a win?

From the OP of the thread, Caruso got 30 in 2014. I don’t know how far back into the sands of time and archives of L’Equipe and Gazzetta that research has gone to determine a true all-time list.

2014 is as far back as I've gone. Pozzovivo was on 25 after the Italian nationals but only had 2 more race days for the rest of the year and dropped to 4th.

I think that Rojas was originally the inspiration for tracking top tens without a victory. I count 35 for him in 2010, if we are including GC results.

We are (obviously).

He was great in 2011 also but made the error of actually winning three times, shameful really.

Thanks for the correction. I skimmed very quickly and am not surprised that I missed one.

Rojas's achievement in 2010 is all the more remarkable when you realize he had 17 top-fives without a victory.

I think Rojas has the all-time record of most top 10s without a win in Grand Tours.
