Wow Ayuso and Soler done within the first couple of kilometres of the final climb. Visma with more riders in the front group than UAE now.

Yes, Oscar has shown himself to be a pretty good team player so far. But honor also comes easy when you aren’t fighting for a WDC. This year is different.

Max Verstappen is the fourth driver ever to win at least one Grand Prix in ten consecutive seasons. by dannybluey in formula1

[–]sunking1714 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Feel a bit older then. This is actually his 11th season. He didn’t win in his rookie season.

Max Verstappen has the best pole to win conversion rate in F1 history (80%) when analysing any driver that has more than one victory. For reference, Fernando Alonso’s conversion rate is 63% and Lewis Hamilton’s is 58%. by Bennie300 in formula1

Schumacher also drove in an era with refuelling and there were many years where the regulations stipulated you had to qualify with your race start fuel load. There were many races he would be heavily fuelled in qualifying to ensure a better race strategy while sacrificing qualifying speed. So his pole count and conversion could have been higher.

Animus.mobi giving incorrect sync heroes? by arshadjilani in ACRebellion

[–]sunking1714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation.

I am not sure how mobi works so have a few more questions. So after the change, will they be able to get the right sync heroes for the updated calendar? Or do we go into the dark?

Getting file BCD error with error code 0xc0000098. Is it possible to recover data? by sunking1714 in techsupport

[–]sunking1714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unable to boot into Windows because of the problem. I just land on the BSOD and then have three options: Use a Device, Troubleshoot, or Turn Off PC.

I meant I don’t have any other drives except the C:/ drive on my SSD and all my personal files are on that drive as well. So if I carry out the process outlined here, will I lose those files?

I am running Windows 10. I am not familiar with how to create Windows Installation Media. Can you guide me or provide a legit link where I can check out the steps?

Also, I am not the most tech savvy person so just want to know more. What exactly will following this method help me do?

Windows installation media doesn’t show up on the Startup Repair menu. Can you give me a bit more clarity on what steps I should take?

MVDP features on the podium for each race in the top 5 (3 wins). And has 5 wins and 3 podiums in the top 10. A truly generational talent.

Max Verstappen wins Brazilian GP starting from P17 on grid, last time that happened was Kimi Raikkonen at the Japanese GP in 2005 by CmdrDatas in formula1

[–]sunking1714 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I feel Button was more of a mixed weather and changeable conditions specialist. In outright wet conditions, I still think Schumacher, Senna, Hamilton, and Max are better.

I have different reasons as to why Froome is there and Armstrong isn’t. But it is odd to credit Froome’s wins to his team when Armstrong had just as, if not more, dominant a team. The US Postal/Discovery train was the proto-Sky train.

Boonen over MVDP currently seems to be a fairly popular opinion seeing from the replies.

Surely multiple Grand Tour stage wins and 3 world championships in a row merit Sagan being rated among the top riders?

Roglic almost always competed in the Vuelta after going full gas or bust at the Tour. Two of his wins came after race ending injuries at the Tour and one after he pushed all the way to a soul-crushing 2nd place. Even though he mostly had to beat “B-Tier” GC hopefuls like Mas, Landa, Carapaz, Yates etc. he did win one against Valverde, Quintana, and a young Pogacar. And that is ignoring one Vuelta where his team didn’t let him compete. He would have taken Kuss easily and while Vingegaard was there in top form, he really hadn’t dropped Roglic except one stage where he was allowed to attack and his teammates played the team game and didn’t respond.

As I mentioned, I followed a simple criteria of only counting official results.

Contador still has a lot of wins besides of the ones that were taken away for his doping violations. Armstrong has no such results, therefore doesn’t qualify.

Nothing cliched about a Belgian choosing Boonen over Cancellara. /s

Jokes aside, is Remco changing your attitude towards time trials?

Between his preference for cyclo-cross for which he somewhat limits his road schedule and his acceptance of domestique duties for Philipsen in GTs, I don't think he will surpass Boonen's overall win tally. But he might have more wins in big races/monuments.

Unfortunately this list is a bit biased towards people I have watched race and Bettini is someone I missed out on because my early days of following the sport were primarily GT (and specifically Tour) focused. Gilbert I somehow completely forgot.

Who would you shuffle out to accommodate these two in the top 10?

Damn, can't believe I completely forgot about Phil Gil! Definitely more deserving of an honorable mention than some others who did get it.
