Does anyone know who has the most wins for their first year as a pro? Or better yet, a table ranking them?

Kittle took his 15th this year. And he has taken some serious scalps along the way.

    As far as I know Cav had the highest for a neo pro with 11 but Guardini was going some way to changing that.

    Not sure if Kittel is a neo pro or just a new name?

    Kittel is a neo-pro so beats Cavendish's record.

    It's John Degenkolb. As far as I understand, HTC weren't riding so he hooked up with the national squad to get a ride. It's quite common for national teams to ride certain events, as it gives them time to ride together and gives younger riders the chance to get some experience of riding at the highest level.

    As Marcel Kittel is currently down under taking part in the Herald Sun Tour, there's the chance that he could add to his 15 wins so far this season.

    With John Degenkolb joining him at Skil Shimano next season there could be some interesting competition for Cavendish.

    Bit useful is Herr Kittel.
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.
