Kanter takes the lead.

He still hasn‘t even finished second this year

Playing it safe.

Does winning the points classification count?

No

All down to the last day of the season tomorrow.

Surely an easy choice for Kanter? Glory, or 20 UCI points.

Congratulations Max Kanter!

He does the 2nd best performance since the award was instituted with 29 top-10s, just 1 shy of Caruso's record in 2014.

He also breaks the tradition of 3rd tier sprinters winning on odd years and climbers on even years. For the 2nd year in a row a sprinters wins this competition.

 

[shalgo]

Not even close in the end. Kanter wins it at a canter.

Caruso's 30 was actually before we started this. I went through the 2014 results during the off season a few years ago.

Seems somehow fitting in this relegation season, that a half-decent sprinter from Movistar should win this with 7 top-tens at Langkwai. A race they've possibly never entered before?

Thanks again for this thread valentius. Great competition this year, and far more interesting than following my CQ team.

Finished 2nd in the points classification. Just to be sure. That´s real dedication.

 

[Sandisfan]

I would love to have a small Plaque/trophy made with the inscription about the CN Forums Amazing Race to Most Top 10 Without a Win "competition" and send it to Kanter.

EDITED: to add this... It would include a Note Saying that it was an Amazing come from behind Victory!!!!

 

[SafeBet]

Appreciate your work @valentius borealis. Always a great thread to follow during the cycling season.

[11-34]

Almost a "Kantersieg"

 

[postmanhat]

2021 victor Bryan coquard out already

Some early contenders from the TDU are Page and Penhoet with 3, Matthews with 4. Maybe a season too early for Matthews? Can still see him being the quickest one left on a stage with a hard climb.

In 2021, he didn't win a race and was second to Coquard in this competition.

Didn't realise that.

A bit similar to Fred Wright last year perhaps, whose 17 top tens all came in WT races, apart from the Commonwealth Games.

 

[Potomac]

This is one of the most exciting competitions. Far more interesting than any kind of points tally.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I believe Hamza Amari of Q36.5 CT is the current leader after scoring a total of six top 10s during the Tropicale Amissa Bongo.

Matthews has also collected six top 10s in Australia.

Matthews has also collected six top 10s in Australia.

Of course. One must never underestimate him in this competition. He threw away a certain victory in 2021 by not racing in October.

Beginning to think about Sagan's prospects this year? What a way to end your career.

Slovakian Championships.

Plus he sounds much more optimistic than the last two years.
