I wonder if this includes points for now-defunct races like PBP when it was a pro event. I'll have to have a look. Thanks.

Surprise surprise!!! According to the Cycling Hall of Fame (www.cyclinghalloffame.com) which uses UCI points to rank over-all standings, Lance is number seven. It was also a surprise to discover that Le Blaireau is ranked number two.
