Just looking through Cunego's palmares and noted his Amstel 2006 win at 6: 35:29 which I know won't be the longest .

Froome came in 20 minutes down that time so 6:55 of racing !

I remember 7 hours plus but which race?

    You'd think it'd be a headwind MSR...

    Good call

    because I am supposed to be doing something else I checked. Amazingly 3 san remos finished within 12 seconds of each other - the magic time being 7:11

    The longest was Zabels 2001 win 7:23:13 The tail enders came in 15 minutes down pushing them into the 7:30 dark zone

    going back from last year
    6.46
    6.55
    5.37 - lightweight Ciolek
    6.59
    6.51
    6.57
    6.42
    7.14 (Cancellara)
    7.11.35 Petachi
    7.11.23 Freire - that is incredible 12 second difference!!
    few missing
    2001 7.23.13 Zabel brutal
    200 7.11.29 Part of the holy trio - a massive 6 seconds faster than Petachis win but a shuffling 6 seconds slower than Freire's

    I don't really like the thought of going out and riding for 7 hours. I get bored sometimes in races that are 2 hours.. can't even imagine having to ride 250km before getting to any of the hills that actually matter

    Stage 14 of the 2000 Tour was around 8 hours for some riders. Was 249.5km over a few mountains and was won by Botero in 7h56m, with the autobus likely to be well into the 8 hour mark, possibly even nearer to 9 hours.

    Or you have Stage 15 of the 2011 Giro, which was won by Mikel Nieve in a time of 7h27m. The final finisher that day came in after 8h11m in the saddle.

    A few small years before the stated date, but Ullrich's win to Andorra on stage 10 of the 1997 Tour took him 7 hrs 46. The last place took 8 hrs 31.

    Called Nieve - but good shout on the Tour stage.


    Last finishers don't count surely. All about the winning time? After all, if you think about it, that's the underlying for the slowest legal time for a stage anyway.
