In the 25 Monument Classics since Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/a> won his first of cycling’s oldest, most prestigious and hardest one-day races at Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge in 2023, 19 of the victories have been shared only by him and Mathieu van der Poel, with just seven different winners.<\/p>\n

The five other champions in that period are far from complete shocks: Remco Evenepoel twice, Wout van Aert, Matej Mohori\u010d, Jasper Philipsen, and Dylan van Baarle.<\/p>\n
