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

[11-34]

Today is probably the decisive day. EJ is the outright favorite today in Tour de Vendee. He could lose it all.

Today is probably the decisive day. EJ is the outright favorite today in Tour de Vendee. He could lose it all.

Instead he masterfully got not just another top-10, but another podium.

 

[11-34]

I guess the competition is over, as I don't think any of the top protagonists are racing again this year. And the winner is (or will be)...

This was the standings on 30/9:

I kinda clocked off mentally after the Vuelta. I'll have to update the spreadsheet so I can post the final standings.

 

[Potomac]

I thought was going to be about predictions for 2026.

[Dazed and Confused]

Congrats to EJ. With 62 race days in 2025 (according to PCS), the consistency is pretty good. Hopefully he can convert this consistency into a couple more wins in 2026.

 

[11-34]

EJ starts the seasons with a strong third place. Consistency is pretty good indeed.

Schmid off, Plapp and Vansevenant up to 3, Scaroni and Vansevenant up to 4 after Muscat Classic

Schmid off, Plapp and Vansevenant up to 3, Scaroni and Vansevenant up to 4 after Muscat Classic

Scaroni has clearly stated he's not interested in this year's competition by winning his very first race.

 

[Potomac]

This could be Steinhauser's year.

 

[Rockestar_33]

Scaroni has clearly stated he's not interested in this year's competition by winning his very first race.

Well that's embarrassing...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vlasov is looking like a hot bet at the moment. Unlike another former winner in Almeida he's not letting any opportunities pass him by, but no one has ever clinched a second title in this competition so far.
