What is the best time trial rider of all time? If we were to add all TT points per rider it would favor the riders active in periods with a lot of time trials. Therefore we applied a point scale to the position of a rider in the TT year ranking. This way riders active in different periods have an equal chance. Riders that rank high over a longer period are in favor with this method, but having the discipline to perform each year is a valuable quality in time trial.
