This happens every year about this time. Some kid like Robert has a
paper due for their statistics class. They've spent the entire semester
drunk or stoned and now they want someone to do their research for
them.

Sorry Robert, can't help you.

Actually I can give you a data point. Roberto Gaggioli has been a pro
for 328 years.

For the European pros it's 3.5 years (or seasons) average. Cant recall
at the moment the publication.

LOL!
Of course if Agostinho were still alive, he'd still be riding.

The numbers still get skewed by names like Danny Clark and Fred Rompelberg
