But he saved himself.
Unfortunately he didn't manage to get another one.

Yeah, really on the brink there. But a top 10 is going to be difficult now (does a top 10 in this competition count as a top 10 in this competition?).

I don't know

Is the #2 finisher the true moral winner of this competition?

Yeah, I just figured this funky paradoxical consequence after posting.

 

[Climbing]

Surely the unstoppable juggernaut will close the season with the final top 10!?

Here in action while destroying everybody for a win… I mean a placement!

Is it mathematically possible for anyone to catch him?

Re:

Canola is in China right now. He's likely to race the 9 stage Tour of Hainan

Then let's just hope he eliminates himself.

Valverde dropped

Re:

Valverde's been out of this competition before he even entered it!

Yep!

Re: Re:

If Canola races in Hainan, he could steal it, like Andrii Kulyk in 2015 (or lose it like Marco Zanotti the same year).

Guys. I think we have a winner… Looks like Canola isn't doing Tour of Hainan.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Twenty-eight! Pozzovivo deserves a win next year.

 

[Breh]

A new record?

Benoot unfortunately ended his impressive streak in this competition. Without the Strade Bianche, he would be at 72 top10s without a single win.

Indeed. Pozzovivo can't be beaten now (I'm pretty sure that Nippo aren't racing the Tour of Fuzhou).

A new record?

Benoot unfortunately ended his impressive streak in this competition. Without the Strade Bianche, he would be at 72 top10s without a single win.

Damiano Caruso got 30 in 2014.

Re:

Might be worth creating a new thread for 2019?

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, seems like just updating/continuing these threads into the new year is the "thing" now…

Is that a problem?

No. I'm kinda "guilty" of it myself. Just pointing out that there's no need to start a new thread.
Besides, at least valentius borealis was smart enough to not include the year in the title.

You can always count on Reguigui amassing top10s early on. He's doing even better than last year.

I hadn't thought that far ahead, so I edited the year out of the title, and added previous winners to the OP.

 

[RedheadDane]

You cheater!
The rest of us at least had the decency to just... sneakily update the title to include the current year…
