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

[Alexandre B.]

I'm a bit sad to see a Bora climber win.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Should rename this to the Tiesj Benoot Cup.

Yes, surprising to see Buchmann out of the running so early in the year.

If he does, I will laugh so hard

 

[Tigerion]

A bit late for an entry but I think Colbrelli is a good chance this year.

I'm with you on this. This is likely one of the few things he'd prefer not to win. His next race is his home race of Murcia.

 

[valentius borealis]

Since Valverde returned from his suspension, his latest first win for the year has been on February 21.

I don't think it will be later this year. He's not going to be beaten in Murcia.

I don't think he cares - or even knows - about this silly little thing.

I am really looking forward to the next official update.
The curse of the rainbow jersey. :lol:

It's not the curse. It's his current mentality. How about this comment from him today: "Racing in my home region with this jersey on for the last two days already was a victory for me. Every race I take the start of has that special feeling in the rainbow colours. If I’m able to win after that, it’s even better, but I feel like we’re doing just fine at the moment."

Simon Clarke has started well in the "most 4th places without a podium" competition.

There's a competition for that as well?

Sure why not.

Valentius, can you see who would be the winners of this competition in previous years, or is your spreadsheet (or however you are keeping track of this competition) not designed to do that?

 

[42x16ss]

Seeing Simon Clarke ended up second on the final stage and GC at Provence, he's out of that competition as soon as it started

Also, LL Sanchez out.

4th only or top 10 without a podium?

Carlton will be tipping him for big things in MSR - just like every year.
