edited July 2019 in Pro race
By my reckoning (ie by looking it up on Wikipedia) 56 (correction 55) riders have won a race (at any level including nationals) or led/won a classification racing for Ineos/Sky

How many can you all name?

    Those are all 100% right

    You're missing some riders who've won legit races you really should get
    Some well known riders who've won something several rungs below chipper
    There are a couple of '**** off you're not counting that'
    1 very new guy

    1 from the original line up (who won his national title)



    Also it's 55 - I've Sivakov twice
    So 12 to get

    Ganna? He's new and won something this season. I remember he had the leader's jersey.

    I first thought Loftqvist or Arvesen, but it's not, but now I've remembered a Finnish bloke called Carlstrom.

    And now I remember Nordhaug - Tour of Yorkshire and one of the Canadian races

    Edit: Now I see Mrs Cow had him. :oops:

    2nd Edit: Another one and I can't see him above. He's a really big cheese. EF and he lost 1'-40" on stage 10, anyone? :P

    3rd Edit. A big miss, cos he won a number of races for Sky: Danny van Poppel.

    I reckon that's me done.

    Ok some clues - to avoid excommunication
    (Some of these are so minor they don't even make it onto the rides wiki page :lol: )

    German winner of something called Rund um Sebnitz and the mountain jersey of the Herald Sun Tour

    Irish rider who led the youth classification of the Route d'Occitanie

    English winner of East Yorkshire Classic Roadrace who won't be our next PM

    Serving a doping ban won a stage of the Tour of Luxembourg

    Winner of the Bischofhofen Criterium and the bestest mate a sprinter could have

    Winner of the Cima Coppi 2014 and a stage of Coppi e Bartali

    Did Uran actually win a race though? He hardly ever actually wins.

    Then again classification jerseys. He probably won a youth jersey at some point

    Rigo Uran
    Wisniowski - feel like he did something in a lesser race of the classics season?
    Did Knees win some odd race somewhere once upon a time!?

    So is there one left?

    Going by the standard of some of these 'wins' I'll say Phil Deignan once beat Lizzie in a race to the coffee shop.

    His only win was the Czech TT title.

    Konig had huge potential. Shame it never happened for him

    They have not won as many as one would think.
