My mistake was comparing Cav and AleJet head to head, as that only gives Petacchi's wins while Mark has been riding (about 90 odd) and doesn't include the ones from pre-2006 (about 60 odd)
As an aside, I was looking on PCS last night, and am I right in thinking that Cav is the "most winningest" current rider?
He's second. Still a long way behind Petacchi.
Looking at CQ ranking here's the career wins tally of some of the more prolific winners:
152 Petacchi
128 Cavendish
118 Griepel
114 Boonen
Yes "Cav is the "most winningest" current rider" of his generation and Alessandro Petacchi is from another ERA at 41 years of age with only one win in the last 4 years.
Most Victories Ever:
1. Eddy Merckx BEL 436
2. Rik van Looy BEL 379
3. Francesco Moser ITA 275
4. Rik van Steenbergen BEL 273
5. Roger de Vlaeminck BEL 256

Those figures are a little dubious though. Those wins are padded out quite a lot by criteriums. De Vlaeminck for example is more around the 160 mark for legitimate wins.
Super lightweight startlist. Looks like all the WT teams are making their feelings known.
Clashing with a monument and a World Tour stage race hardly helps, nor does the fact that perhaps a third of some teams will be resting after the cobbles.

Modolo second but never any danger he'd beat Cav

I'll leave it alone now.
While on the subject, then try this :-

King of the chipper.
Yeah, he hasn't got as many big races like Tour of Turkey stage wins on his palmares
Rebellin wins.
edit: MY MAN Sepulveda in third.
Freebie trips for journos keeps it on the radar?
8)
That's what happens when you include The Tour Du Southend Pier and other 1.1 races.
Good to see my man Sepulveda in 3rd.
Climbing specialist team Colombia can only put one rider way down in the top ten.

I thought Greipel was the Gorilla?
Is this ToT what you call a Chipper. ???
Rebellin, I ask you. ?
I Find this picture a bit apeeling.
Petacchi isn't much younger, is he? I'll have him.
