Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
A lot is sometimes made of Pog "completing cycling" and the fact that he's missing Roubaix. But I was looking at this Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_one_week_stage_races_(cycling) (for unrelated reasons) and this sentence piqued my interest.

Primož Roglič [...] is one of two riders to win six different major one-week races alongside Tadej Pogačar. Eddy Merckx, Richie Porte and Jonas Vingegaard are third with five different wins.

So, of current riders....

Roglic is missing Tour de Suisse
Pogacar is missing the Basque Country
Vingegaard is missing Suisse and Romandie

Of the above Jonas also has all 3 GTs, and barring something untoward happening, so will Pog soon.

I can imagine that Pog will have the Basque Country on his to do list.

Do you imagine that ticking things off is on Jonas' agenda? Or is that of interest only to people who spend their time reading Wikipedia pages, and Jonas has bigger fish to gut?

I doubt Primoz has enough left in the tank to get that missing Tour de Suisse.

What about it? ;)

Also the UAE tour and a few other things like Poland that are classed 2.UWT

Thats why I'm relying entirely on that utterly unimpeachable source of reliable information - Wikipedia.

That tells me that P-N, Tirreno, Catalunya, Basque, Romandie, Dauphine-Rhone-Wotsit and Suisse are " grouped together due to their historic prestige and strength of competition, "

So I'm sticking with that definition. I could include all of the 2.UWT ones but the result would not be as interesting.
