    Are we looking at this from straight wins, if so probably PG.

    However, if I were a DS I'd rather Canc as he is more of a team player and not only getting you headlines for classic and TT wins, he'll also pull like hell for you in the big Stage races.

    Staggering.

    Absolutely, but not quite as unusual in past times when the big stars didn't tend to specialise quite as much as they do now.

    Ah, I misinterpretted, for "Spring Monuments", replace with "Ardennes Classics" and Rebellin being the last winner of all three.:oops:
    Add in Fleche Brabacomme and Gilbert's the only winner of all 4 in a single season!
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

    Not very related.

    Just took a look at the CQ rankings head-to-head with Boonen versus Cancellara.

    89-89!
