Squatfather Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Den polske cykeljournalist Daniel Marszalek har for 7. gang i træk offentliggjort sin årlige liste over de 200 bedste landevejsryttere i verdenshistorien på Wim van Rossums Cycling4all.com.Ikke overraskende er Eddy Merckx og Bernard Hinault i toppen af listen. Lance Armstrong er nummer 15. De bedst placerede rytter som stadig er aktiv er Jan Ullrich som nr. 22, Erik Zabel som nr. 27 og Paolo Bettini som nr. 45. De to eneste danskere på listen er Rolf Sørensen (72) og Bjarne Riis (186).Top 200 rangliste Edited January 2, 2007 by Squatfather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squatfather Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Spændende liste at læse igennem. Det er altid fedt at se de gamle konger bliver sammenlignet.De to helt store konger er nr. 6 og 9 på listen. Gino Bartali og Fausto Coppi. Men alle navnene på listen er jo store. Men der er da nogle af dem som jeg personligt vægter virkligt højt. Her er nogle af mine personlige favoriter. Min barndomshelt Sean Kelly.From the start of his professional career in 1977 when he was discovered by the French directeur sportif Jean de Gribaldy, until his retirement in 1994, Kelly won nine 'Monument' Classics, and 193 professional races in total, a tally only bettered by Eddy Merckx. Kelly also won the Paris-Nice stage race seven years in a row, and topped the inaugural UCI World Cup rankings.He has a Grand Tour victory to his credit in the 1988 Vuelta a España, and multiple wins in the Giro di Lombardia, Milan-San Remo, Paris-Roubaix and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Other victories include the Critérium International, Grand Prix des Nations and many national tours, including Tours of Switzerland, Basque Region, Catalonia, and Ireland.Notably missing from his list of victories is the World Cycling Championship rainbow jersey, which he almost won in a close battle against Greg LeMond in 1989. When FICP introduced world cycling rankings in March 1984, Kelly was the first rider to be ranked world No.1, a position he held for over six years (still a record). Kelly was known to be one of the hard men of professional cycling, achieving 33 victories in one season (1984).While some sprinters prefer to remain sheltered in the peloton until the final few hundred metres of a race, Kelly was capable of instigating breaks and could climb well, proving this by winning the Vuelta a España in 1988. His victories in Paris-Roubaix (1984, 1986) showed his ability to battle against poor weather and terrible road conditions, while in the Tour de France he could stay with the climbing specialists in the mountains. He finished fourth in the Tour in 1985 and won the Maillot vert (Green Jersey) in 1982, 1983, 1985, and 1989, becoming the first rider to win the Tour's points classification four times, a feat he repeated in the Tour of Spain. Kelly won 21 stages in Grand Tours, five in the Tour de France and 16 in the Tour of Spain.Grand Tour stage wins1978 - 6th stage of Tour de France 1979 - 1st and 5th stages of the Tour of Spain 1980 - 1st, 2nd, 14th, 17th, 19th stages of the Tour of Spain; 19th, 21st stages of the Tour de France 1981 - 15th stage of Tour de France 1982 - 12th stage Tour de France 1985 - 2nd, 9th, 15th stages of Tour of Spain 1986 - Stages 10 and 13 of Tour of Spain 1987 - Stages 1 and 3 of the Tour of Spain 1988 - Stages 11 and 20 (and overall winner) of the Tour of Spain ClassicsMilan-San Remo 1986, 1992 Paris-Roubaix 1984, 1986 Liège-Bastogne-Liège 1984, 1989 Giro di Lombardia 1983, 1985, 1991 (also won amateur version in 1976) Blois-Chaville - 1984 (this race has more commonly been run as Paris-Tours) GP Plouay - Ouest France - 1984 Gent-Wevelgem - 1988 Grand Prix des Nations - 1986 Tour du Haut Var - 1982 Criterium des As - 1984, 1985, 1986 GP d'Isbergues - 1983 Paris-Bourges - 1984 Stage Race victoriesVuelta a España - 1988 Paris-Nice - 1982-1988 (7 consecutive wins, a record) Tour de Suisse - 1983, 1990 Volta a Catalunya - 1984, 1986 Vuelta al País Vasco - 1984, 1986, 1987 Critérium International - 1983, 1984, 1987 Setmana Catalana de Ciclisme - 1988 Driedaagse van De Panne - 1980 Nissan International Classic - 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991Af andre favoriter kan nævnes Mr. Paris-Roubaix, Roger De Vlaeminck. Born in the East Flanders town of Eeklo in Belgium, Roger’s first love was football, he was playing centre forward for F.C. Eeklo when he left school and he could have made a career in that sport, however his elder brother Erik was having success as a pro cyclist and this persuaded the younger De Vlaeminck to try his hand at cycling. He raced as a junior in 1965, gaining just one win but 1966 saw him rack up 25 victories. Roger and Erik spent their winter’s riding cyclo-cross with a fair amount of success and in 1968 in Luxembourg the brothers made history when Erik became World professional cyclo-cross champion and Roger took the amateur version on the same day, (Roger eventually took the professional title in 1975). 1968 also saw Roger earn selection for the road race at the Mexico Olympics but he finished a disappointing 18th place.Roger turned professional at the start of the 1969 season with the Flandria-Declerck team and had one of the most amazing starts to a pro cycling career when he won the Belgium semi classic Omloop "Het Volk" in his first professional race. Roger’s career ran parallel with the greatest cyclist of all time, Eddy Merckx and he battled for the ascendancy with Merckx throughout his career. De Vlaeminck rode Paris-Roubaix on 14 occasions, winning four times (1972, 1974, 1975, 1977), finished second four times, third once, fifth once, seventh twice and abandoned the race only once in 1980. His skill as a cyclo cross rider made him an expert on the tough cobbles of northern France which the race crosses. De Vlaeminck used the early season Italian stage race Tirreno-Adriatico as training for the Spring Classics, he dominated the race between 1972 and 1977, winning the overall classification on six occasions and taking fifteen stage victories in total.Roger De Vlaeminck is one of only three riders who won all the five “Monument” one day races in their careers, the other two are fellow Belgians Rik Van Looy and Eddy Merckx. The five “Monuments” are Paris-Roubaix, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Milano-Sanremo and the Giro di Lombardia. The only major one day race he did not win was the World Road Race Championship, his best performance in this was second to the Dutchman Hennie Kuiper in 1975. In the three major Tours, he rode the Tour de France on three occasions winning one stage, that being stage 6 in 1970 between Amiens and Valenciennes, he took the points jersey in the Giro d'Italia on three occasions as well as an impressive 22 stage wins over the years including seven stages in the 1975 edition. He took a stage win in the Vuelta a España in his final season in 1984. His career lasted 15 years (retiring in 1984) and he had 257 victories.World Cyclo Cross Champion 1975 Paris-Roubaix 1972, 1974, 1975, 1977 Liège-Bastogne-Liège 1970 Milan-Sanremo 1973, 1978, 1979 Ronde van Vlaanderen 1977 Giro di Lombardia 1974, 1976 Tour de Suisse 1975 (including six stage wins) Tour de France (stage win) 1970 Giro d'Italia Points Jersey 1972, 1974, 1975 Giro d'Italia 22 stage wins between 1972 and 1979 Vuelta a España (stage win) 1984 Omloop "Het Volk" 1969, 1979 La Flèche Wallonne 1971 Züri-Metzgete 1975 Paris-Brussels 1981 Belgium Road Race Champion 1969, 1981 Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne 1970, 1971 E3 Prijs Vlaanderen 1971 Milano-Torino 1972, 1974 Tirreno-Adriatico (Overall) 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977 Grote Scheldeprijs 1970 Og den dobbelte verdensmester og Vueltavinder fra 1977 Freddy Maertens. Han tog over halvdelen af etaperne i Vueltaen det år. Vandt ITT, bjergetaper og massespurter!Freddy Maertens (born 13 February 1952 in Nieuwpoort) was a Belgian professional racing cyclist and twice World Road Cycling Champion.In Italy in 1976, he won in front of Italians Francesco Moser and Tino Conti. In Prague in 1981, he beat Italian Giuseppe Saronni and France's Bernard Hinault. He was also second in the 1973 World Championship race.Maertens also won the 1977 Vuelta a España (taking more than half the stages: 13 in total), and took the spinters' maillot vert in the Tour de France three times (1976, 1978 and 1981). In 1976 he won a record-equalling eight stages of the Tour de France; the following year (1977), he took seven stages in the Giro d'Italia.Outside the Grand Tours, his stage race victories included the Paris-Nice (1977), the Quatre Jours de Dunkerque (1973, 1975, 1976 and 1978), the Tour of Andalucia (1974, 1975), Tour of Belgium (1974, 1975), Tour de Luxembourg (1975), Tour of Sardinia (1977) and Vuelta y Catalunya (1977).However, despite his sprinting dominance during the 1970s, Maertens did not win a one-day 'Monument' Classic, coming closest with second places in the Ronde van Vlaanderen (1973) and Liège-Bastogne-Liège (1976). His other major one-day road race victories included:Gent-Wevelgem (1975, 1976) Paris-Brussels (1975) Paris-Tours (1975) Amstel Gold Race (1976) Rund um den Henninger Turm (1976) Züri-Metzgete (1976) Omloop "Het Volk" (1977, 1978) Grote Scheldeprijs (1973) Maertens is widely believed to have been one of the best sprinters in the world, and is credited with having nurtured another great sprinter Seán Kelly during the latter's early professional career. He was also an accomplished rider in individual time trials, winning the Grand Prix des Nations in 1976.He also won the season-long Super Prestige Pernod International competition in 1976 and 1977.Maertens was known to have pushed very high gears on his bike, which some critics say caused him to burn out early and retire at a relatively young age. In response, he said that the higher gears allow him to descend without too much strain to his heart.In the 1973 World Championship in Barcelona, Spain, fellow Belgian Eddy Merckx accused Maertens of having chased him down in the final lap while Merckx had a good chance of staying away, resulting in Italian Felice Gimondi winning the title. Maertens responded that Merckx had sabotaged his ride because Maertens was riding Shimano components and that the other two rode Campagnolo components. In recent interviews Maertens and Merckx said that they have since reconciled their differences.Jeg er dog en smule skuffet, over at Bahamontes først er at finde på 75. plads efter bla. Rolf Sørensen. Bahamontes havde jo stort set kun resultater i de store etapeløb. Rolf var jo all-round god med etapesejre i Tour og Giro, etapesejre og samlede triumfer i en række mindre etapeløb, samt sejre og utallige topplaceringer i klassikerne.Du kan se Rolfs resultater her.

Squatfather Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Men det er fandme vildt at selvom man lægger den italienske duo sammen, vil de stadig ligge efter Mercxk... Ja, men man bør ikke glemme en vigtig detalje i det regnestykke. Gino Bartali og Fausto Coppi mistede begge 5 år af deres karriere pga 2. verdenskrig. Bartali vinder sin første Giro i 36, sin første Tour i 38, og den anden TdF-sejr i 48. Coppi vinder sin første Giro i 1940 og den sidste af sine Girosejre i 53.Hvis man sammenligner med Mercxk vandt belgieren sit første Giro d’Italia som 23-årig og lavede sit sidste store GT-resultat som 30-årig da han blev nr. 2 i Touren. Coppi vinder sin første Giro som 20-årig og taber Giroen med blot 11 sekunder til Fiorenzo Magni 15 år senere som 35-årig. Det samme gør sig gældende for Bartali. Han leverede også resultater over en meget længere årrække end Mercxk. Og som Mercxk leverede de to italienere jo et hav af resultater i klassikerne ud over deres Giro og Tour triumfer. Coppi´s resultatliste viser sejr i Paris-Roubaix, Fleche Wallonne, 1 verdensmesterskab, 5 Giro d'Italia, 2 Tour de France, 3xMilano-San Remo, 5xGiro di Lombardia, 9 Touretaper, 22 Giroetaper, 31 dage i Giroens lyserøde fører trøje, samt 19 dage i den gule trøje i Tour de France. Samlet 122 proffesionele sejre.For Bartali´s vedkommende er listen lige så imponerende. 3 Giro d'Italia, 2 Tour de France, 4xMilano-San Remo, 3xGiro di Lombardia, 12 Touretaper, 17 Giroetaper, 50 dage i Giroens lyserøde fører trøje, samt 20 dage i den gule trøje i Tour de France. Samlet 124 proffesionele sejre.Og inden man siger at de sikkert var de eneste store navne på den tid bør man have i mende, at de kørte imod så stærke navne som Fiorenzo Magni, Ferdinand Kübler, Hugo Koblet, Rick van Steenbergen, Jean Robic og Loison Bobet.

Sindbad Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Det var sgu legendernes tid... :4thumbup: Fede billeder i øvrigt - elsker detder med ringene over skuldrene.
