    You hadn't said Qatar.

    Greipel has won on five continents (missing South America). I don't think anyone has done all six

    Update: Of course it's 20 countries as the stage was in Hungary. Doh! We both missed that. And to think I checked that none of his Tour wins were in Luxembourg or Monaco

    He chickened out.
    I think my coat's over there....
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    He does basically what he's always done. Win small races in France and Belgium. He's won 47 races in his career. None at World Tour level. It looks like he had a bad pandemic (only one win, but two this year so far)

    I hoped he'd won twenty so I could call them the Coquard Vingt

    If you want another annoying quiz - name seven riders who have won Grand Tour stages in six different countries. Cavendish is one. (I have a list if seven from elsewhere - I haven't checked it and there may be others).
