When was the last time that the three people who ended on the podium in the same monument had all also ended on a Grand Tour podium in the same year?

I feel a bit too lazy to research that myself right now but I think it's an interesting one.

Is that Valverde's brother and Brailsford's son?

I have tried to find a prior but it proves difficult. I am not sure it has happened since WW2.

Great ride by Pogi and an exciting last 20km. But not doing the Sormano made the race pretty predictable, had the feeling of a world championship. I hope they bring it back as it felt like something was missing this year when going to Como.

This is nice to see what a simple signature can mean to a fan

I was curious about this so when the formula 1 cars stood still, I decided to do the full research.

It has never happened before in the history of cycling that the three riders on a monument podium all finished on a Grand Tour podium the same year!

Another impressive win for Pogacar. Usually the best climber needs to drop everyone, because he doesn't have a sprint. He has the luxury of having a good sprint as well. I was surprised that Mas still took a few turns, but he never had a chance to win that sprint anyway.
