Ok, slightly convoluted title, but bear with me.
Since Covid the big-5 (Pogi, Jonas, Remco, Roglic, MvdP) have absolutely dominated cycling. They have taken most of the major races (Grand tours, monuments, world championships, and olympics) since then, with 39 victories in those races since then, while all others combined took 16.
Starting with the 2023 season (or more or less even starting with LBL 2022) the dominance has been even more extreme, with all but three (Vuelta 2023, MSR 2024, Giro 2025) major races going to one of them.
Only Alaphilippe has managed more than one victory in the "alien" era in the major races since Covid.
So, how long until this will change? When will be the next season with more than one major race going to anyone but the Top-5? And who will be the first rider who again gets to two major victories?
