Wanna test your cycling knowledge of the 2014 season?
https://www.sporcl...14-cycling
Got 85, I'd probably make 90 but run out of time. There is few that would just not spring to mind. Especially last one I would have taken ages. There was so many Neri guys I thought about that and he would not have been one, somehow..

Got 87, had about 80 with 3 minutes left; but then I tried to spell that f*cking Iranian. Still happy about the result though, pretty sure I could not get the rest. |

I just took it, got a 96/100.
I used 3 tricks to make time limits not an issue:
1. Write only last names (obvious)
2. If a few riders come to your mind at once, just get them all down, don't be confined by the order
3. If you can't think of one, skip.
Using these, I got all 96 with 1:30 (well 1:26) still left. In that way I'm satisfied, because the 4 that I couldn't get I just didn't know, as opposed to losing because of the time limit.
Fun little game. it's the same type of thing as the Daily post count one.

Only managed 71 - it's been too long since I really thought about actual cycling. Give me Top 100 MG cyclists any day I do at least know how to spell the Iranian's name.

Spoiler How did Tom Van Asbroeck manage to finish ahead of guys like Cancellara, Kittel and Dan Martin?

This was a lot harder, I think. Ended up with 122, plus some easy mistakes, but I would never have gotten everything, which was quite possible in the last one.
Edit: On the user profile you can find amny other quizzes in the same catgeory, with lots of 2014 races, startlists and so on.
