Am I allowed to pose a question? I have a nifty little one up my sleeve.

 

[tobydawq]

But the Hayters are both pros once again.

Well, there are several more pairs on different teams (or at least a few).

Let's move on to the next question then. Nothing to see here, except a . perhaps.

But the Hayters are both pros once again.

But not on the same team.

Toby, your turn!

Okay. The following is a top 6 of a ranking I have compiled. Your job is to figure out what it is a ranking of:

1: Tadej Pogačar
2: Florian Lipowitz
3: Cian Uijtdebroeks
4: João Almeida
5: Carlos Rodríguez
6: Remco Evenepoel

Pro Cyclists!

Pro Cyclists!

That is a little too unspecific

 

[RedheadDane]

Male pro cyclists!

Still too unspecific?

 

[Netserk]

wt race days before wearing white

probably not

A list with those guys but not including Vingegaard is weird. Was thinking it had something to do with top 10 percentage in WT stage races or something like that, but Vingegaard would definitely feature if that was the case. Ayuso is also someone who'd belong with those names if we're going into that kind of territory. So I'm probably very far off.

Netserk mentioning white jerseys sounds quite likely to be more in the right direction.

Is it based on how their average GT GC placings compare to each other (DNFs excluded)?

Although I very much doubt Almeida is behind the youngster from Movistar.

i think youre closer

ayuso kills the white jersey stuff, but top10 in gts puts evenepoel last

 

[Netserk]

least bad gt gc finish

 

[Squire]

least bad gt gc finish

That should be it. His debut Vuelta takes out Vingegaard and Ayuso because of 2025 Vuelta.

 

[Netserk]

who is next on the list

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Least charismatic GC riders

 

[Squire]

who is next on the list

Gee's 22nd place should put him quite high, but don't know if there are any in between him and Remco (we're clearly talking active riders here).

Edit: No wait. Has to be Piganzoli. A 13th and a 14th.

 

[Netserk]

my conclusion too

but toby surely has the full list, so he is welcome to correct me

 

[AmRacer]

Carapaz? Or is it the Vuelta only?

 

[Squire]

Shared with Jaume Guardeño!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Carapaz?

Vuelta 2017 he was outside the top 30

 

[Netserk]

Shared with Jaume Guardeño!

ah

i think the tie breaker goes to piganzoli

. . . . . . unless toby rules otherwise

 

[Squire]

Honorary mention to Guillaume Martin who has finished a gazillion GTs and never been worse than 23rd.

And he's been in the top 20 in his ten last GTs that he finished (one DNF).

 

[tobydawq]

who is next on the list

Jaume Guardeño and Davide Piganzoli are tied for 7th.

I figured it would be too easy if I included them, hence the weird cutoff.

Well guessed!

 

[tobydawq]

For tied 9th, we of course have Eddie Dunbar, Embret Svestad-Bårdseng and Harold Martín López.

Edit: Oops, sorry, Gee too. He was crossed from the Excel sheet because he had no contract when I updated it and I forgot to put him back in.
