THE GOLDEN TRIO

Stretching back to Milan-San Remo last year, the trio of Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel and Julian Alaphilippe have dominated one-day races. With the exception of Il Lombardia, which only Alaphilippe rode, two of them have finished in the top 10 of the following major classics. The trio all rode Strade Bianche last August as well, which Van Aert won, but the others finished out of the top 10.
