Perhaps, but if they were to approach it classic by classic, the total
list would be much larger for the classics in most years (no doubt
there are years that the one-day racers were thin in talent and/or
dominated by one racer).
Its the naming the favorites at the start of the season that might
cause it to be a closer number. It makes it more an issue of naming
the favorites in one-day races for the year than naming the favorites
for actually winning any one of the classics and compiling a list. I
think the second list would usually be significantly larger than the
first.
