I really hope I’m correct, otherwise I’m completely butchering the standings.

In your first half, you correctly have the 2014 Roubaix at 18 points, in the second half you wrongly have it at 19 points.
 
2019
2017
2013
2020
2012
2021
2018
2015
2014
2016

I think. But I don't remember all details from all the races, I just rewatched the 2014 race for some reason.
Our top 6 differ quite a bit.

Mine:
  1. 2013
  2. 2017
  3. 2012
  4. 2021
  5. 2019
  6. 2020
Yours:
  1. 2019
  2. 2017
  3. 2013
  4. 2020
  5. 2012
  6. 2021
2012, 2017 & 2020 saw a few attackers getting away and deciding the race. 2017 was clearly the best of them, it broke the mould of the previous three years and it had a tight and uncertain sprint for the win. 2012 is iconic for Gerrans wheelsucking Cancellara, but other than the crash on the descent that eliminated Boonen, it was quite good. It was super tense with the chase, so I think it's ahead of 2020.

2013, 2019 & 2021 had a small group over the top of the Poggio. 2019 had the best sprint, but 2013 had the most action (also before Poggio). I quite liked Stuyven's win and the dynamic with Ewan and Wout in the group, but we probably differ quite a bit on failed chases.

On revision, I'll lower 2012 to 5th, but other than that, I'm quite happy with my first stab.

Just to note, you have two 2021 Lombardias, I assume one of them is meant to be 2012 - but they're on the same points so it makes no difference at this stage.

It will in a second, though, because:

Heal: 2012 Lombardia

I also haven't been petty for a while, so:
Hurt: 2016 Ronde

I know, toby, we're supposed to be judging the race quality, not the victor(s), but the objective of race quality is surely about enjoyment, and on that basis I'd have the entire day of the 2016 Ronde cast onto the pyre in a heartbeat.
