The crazy stat is that it's now been 2500 days since Bardiani last won a Giro stage.

THE crazy stat is that Ireland won their third gland slam ever on Saturday and nobody wants to talk about it.

 

[Riek s]

I'm actually suprised by Simon Yates in that statistic. (although that is on average only 10km/solo )

 

[Big Doopie]

And 60 some kms were done by Pog in one race.

What are you talking about?

It IS crazy that people don't want to discuss rugby or cells on a cycling forum.

This is a bizarre statistic, courtesy of PCS.

Belgian Pozzato and Slovenian Klöden nowhere to be seen in that list, shows how boring Jumbo and their Valverde wannabes are.

San Sebastian, Pologne, Liège, San Sebastian, Worldchampionships, Catalunya '23 stage 3.

I believe the World Championship is not a WT event

Technically you are correct, but it is generally listed as such or even considered above. PCS lists it together with other WT races.

See here.

Yeah 600 UCI points versus 500 for a Monument in 2022 season.

4th grand slam ever. Were you not around in 1948?

 

[Tim Cahill]

50km left, half of it descending with 4 minutes, I think they take this.

 

[noob]

Gap going down ;/

Nah, I think they will catch them. SQS is riding at the front.

Sure, I didn't want to belittle the value of the World Championship. Winning it is a major prestige, a big achievement. It's just a slightly different type of race than the WT events...

Italy wasn't around in 1948.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Gap already below 3 minutes now.

 

[noob]

Quite lovely images of mountains though

 

[rallybanana]

Italy wasn't around in 1948.

You learn something new every day!

 

[noob]

What's with that uditbrooks voice? :O

 

[Riek s]

SQS looking decent as a team for now.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

That would make Fausto Masnada the greatest Fausto in cycling!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Foss getting ready for that GT bid.

 

[Red Rick]

Foss getting ready for that GT bid.

I've started ignoring his complaints. I don't really wake up and ask myself "What does the Foss say"

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Gap well below 2 minutes.
