There's more than that. Just off the top of my head: Bartoli 2002 Museeuw 2002 Rebellin 1998?
Ferrigato 1996 But I am sure there's more

10: Museeuw, Zabel, Bartoli, Tafi, Bettini, Tchmil, Bugno, Gianetti, Bortolami, Ballerini

Wondering about it, I think I also have all the doubles

1990 Bugno (M-SR and Wincanton) 1995 both Museeuw (Ronde and Amstel) and Bortolami (Wincanton and
Zurich) 1996 Ferrigato (San Sebastian and Wincanton?) 1997 Rebellin (San Sebastian and Zurich) 1998
Bartoli (LBL and Zurich) 2000 Zabel (M-SR and Amstel) 2001 Zabel (M-SR and Hamburg) 2002 both
Museeuw (P-R and Hamburg) and Bartoli (Amstel and Lombardy) 2003 van Petegem (LBL and P-R)

I think Museeuw has another double either in '93 (when he won his 1st Ronde) or '96 (when he won
his 1st P-R) I don't remember exactly the years in which he won Zurich, one was for sure '94, but
the other?

Anyway the total number of doubles should be 12

Museeuw didn't win the Amstel in '95, but he did win the Ronde and Zurich that year. He won
Amstel in 1994.

I'm guessing that no-one has won three world cups in one year.

Definitely Mirko Celestino who won Hamburg and Lombardy in 1999 but who didn't even get ranked
in the worldcup overall standing because he didn't participate at enough worldcup races during
that season.

There are more than 2 riders who did that ( i also remember Museeuw 2x, Bartoli, Gianetti,
Ferrigato)

Fondriest is the master of The Hollow Victory.

Winning the WC without winning a race.

Winning Worlds when Criq and Bauer ran into each other.

If it wasn't for Jalabert, he'd have won more races.

HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA., That's a pretty good one Adam. Fondriest could have won more if better riders
weren't all around him.

He won 6 (2 LBL, 1 Ronde, 1 Zurich, 1 Amstel, 1 Lombardy)

About the last 2 questions, I think you forgot about three more races that apperead in World Cup,
just once or twice. These are: The America's GP (took place in Canada in '89-'90) The Japan Cup The
Henninger Turm

These are relevants because: Ballerini won the America's GP (this is +1 for total italian wins and
adds Franco among the pepole that won at least 3 World Cup races) I think Van Lancker won the
America's GP as well (takes him from 3 to 4 WC wins) Gianetti won the Japan Cup (puts him too in the
3+ group) Frattini won the Henninger Turm when it was in the World Cup (+1 for the italian total)

He could have won more if he didn't have so many problems with his back.

> The America's GP (took place in Canada in '89-'90)

The GP America was a worldcup race from 1989 till 1992 (winners: J. Müller, F. Ballerini, E. Van
Lancker, F. Echave)

> The Japan Cup, The Henninger Turm. These are relevants because: Ballerini won the America's GP

In 1991 Eric Van Lancker won the Wincanton Classic and GP America but he didn't win the Overall
Wordcup, that was Fondriest. Van Lancker won Amstel Gold Race, Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Wincanton
CLassic and GP America

> Gianetti won the Japan Cup Frattini won the Henninger Turm when it was in the World Cup

This is all correct. These were the wordcup races each year: 1989-1992: Milan-Sanremo, Flanders,
Paris-Roubaix, Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Amstel Gold Race, Zürich, San Sebastian, Paris-Tours, Lombardy,
GP Amerika, Wincanton Classic 1993-1994: Milan-Sanremo, Flanders, Paris-Roubaix,
Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Amstel Gold Race, Zürich, San Sebastian, Paris-Tours, Lombardy, Leeds Classic
1995: Milan-Sanremo, Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, L-B-L, Amstel Gold Race, Zürich, San Sebastian,
Paris-Tours, Lombardy, Rund Um Den Henninger Turm Frankfurt, Leeds Classic
1996: Milan-Sanremo, Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, L-B-L, Amstel Gold Race, Zürich, San Sebastian,
Paris-Tours, Lombardy, Leeds Classic, Japan Cup
1997: Milan-Sanremo, Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, L-B-L, Amstel Gold Race, Zürich, San Sebastian,
Paris-Tours, Lombardy, Rochester Classic 1998-2003: Milan-Sanremo, Flanders, Paris-Roubaix,
L-B-L, Amstel Gold Race, Zürich, San Sebastian, Paris-Tours, Lombardy, HEW Hamburg
