The Amazing Race to Most Top10 Without a Win

[Brullnux]

Nibali is taking this race a little too seriously if you ask me

 

[shalgo]

Van Asbroeck is a man on a mission. He wasn't even on the list in the April 30th update (he had two top tens at that point), but now he is up to 15!

 

[Ricco']

Van Asbroeck has been 9 times 7th or 8th in the last month (including today's stage).

Reguigui is moving up again with back to back second places in the Tour of Korea.

Re:

I know--this shows his devotion to this competition. Despite 16 top tens, he has only one podium (and that was third place). He doesn't want to win a race by mistake.

And another top ten in stage 3.

His previous race, the Tour de Kumano, would have given him 4 more top tens (out of a possible 5!) but alas will not count as it was a .2 race.

Visconti and Vlasov up there in Slovenia Stage 2 with 20 km to go.

 

[wirral]

Both score!

 

[Leinster]

Mezgec out, though.

 

[wirral]

Vlasov and Visconti deliver again in Stage 3 of Slovenia. They are up for the fight.

 

[Anderis]

Visconti out!

 

[RedheadDane]

Lampaert out.

 

[roundabout]

Having seen Vlasov in action this week, he looks like he has quite a decent chance to at least 'win' here

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

In some way, it's a pitty that Philipsen already won a race early in the season (when Ewan was DQF in TDU), because otherwise he'd be a real contender here. Already 16 top 10 spots not counting points or general classifications (those would add another 7 to his tally)

 

[Anderis]

Carthy out btw. (I didn't think he had been on the list but he had).

Great prediction as ever. :lol:

Bauhaus has won criterium in Adriatica race. Don't know if that counts

Re:

Pre race crits don't count with regards to this.

 

[tobydawq]

Shocking that Nibali's out was not called when he won the stage. Nobody was keeping their eyes at the ball, there.

This race lost it's fear factor when Contador won the Angliru in 2017. No CN fave is ever winning this
