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

[QueenStagiaire]

Shouldn't Vlasov be at 11 even, as of stage 6 in P-N. Or does the ITT in Valencia not count perhaps.

No, the TTT doesn‘t count I think.

No, the TTT doesn‘t count I think.

Ah, ofc. Missed that one.

 

[Potomac]

Things are really starting to take shape.
I have high hopes Vauquelin can win this.

Crazy that Kelderman hasn't been able to win this one, even just once. Considering his prowess in this category.

[QueenStagiaire]

I think Lipowitz has a good chance if he doesn‘t run out of gas after the Tour this time.

 

[ingsve]

THJ taking this competition seriously by farming another 5 top 10 results this week and still no win.

 

[RedheadDane]

Mads P seems to be mounting a challenge.

 

[11-34]

I expect good things from Champoussin this year again. Already moving up...

[RedheadDane]

Mads Pedersen

Using his full name?
Yeah, I know there's another 'M. Pedersen', but... Martin's not gonna play any role in this, he doesn't have a single pro top-10.

 

[skippo12]

Looking at THJ's schedule it't more or less only WT races from this point on and I don't see him winning a stage unless he drops out of GC in Dauphine or Tour and is free to join the breakaway. But even that is a longshot.
Only risk is Uno-X chasing points in autumn. Meaning that THJ would start in numerous hilly .1 races.

 

[Potomac]

The list is shaping up nicely. We need another stage race asap

Coming up.
Actually, two.

True

I'll be very surprised if he doesn't sneak a win somewhere during the season. A stage in Luxembourg or something.

I've got him on 48 top 10s since his last win (Stage 5 in the 2023 Tour of Luxembourg).

 

[ingsve]

Aleksandr Vlasov seems to be taking this competition seriously. He has been in the top 10 of every stage of Tour of the Alps so far and can add 2 more tomorrow with the stage and overall. And while THJ will make take a break for training ahead of Dauphine and the Tour, Vlasov will be heading for the Giro where he is likely to gather even more top 10s and potentially cementing a good lead in the competition.
