    Wow. A US rider is UCI #1. 🙂

    If you had told me a US rider was #1 in his age in integral years, I'd have made the obvious guess.

    Nice graphic. It would appear that Valverde is precocious, the 28 year cohort represented by Dean is
    lagging and that Zabel is the

    1965 appears not to have been a grand cru vintage year for cyclists.

    Whoops. Sorry. I was trained as a mathematician, not an accountant, so of course I can't subtract. I
    meant 1975.

    Why qualify Bartko's accomplishment, and thus denigrate it?

    Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker and didn't know 'pursuiter' was an insult. Should have I
    said 'trackie'?

    Or maybe it was because those accomplishments deserve 0 UCI road ranking points.

    Would you have added a similar qualification if somebody from the class of '75 had set the
    hour record?

    An Olympic gold is an Olympic gold, and there's many a rider who would trade tons of UCI points
    to have one.

    Yes. I'll try to explain anyway. Since we were talking about road rankings and the whole 75 class,
    the intent was to clarify
    1) That those medals were achieved at track
    2) That it was a single guy who did, not several ones as was the case with the 1965 guys' monuments

    Starting with 'But' gave an unintended negative spin to the qualification. My bad. It
