MvdP: 5 Classics, 5 Monuments, 0 TdF jerseys, 1 TdF stage

Both have a long list of other 1-day wins.

And I was thinking more of the big one-day races, since those get a LOT of press at home (for both of them). Is WvA's training schedule such that he simply can't win as many Classics/Monuments in service of the team's TdF ambitions? I dunno, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise.

Either way, it's all mental masturbation on my part. They're both generational talents who are exciting to watch.
