Walter and Eddy Planckaert have both won the Tour of Flanders.

And what about Eddy and Axel Merckx winning the Belgian Championship?

Twins.

Twins in the peloton

Are there twins in the professional peloton? The answer is yes. Active twins are Simon Yates and Adam Yates, Tobias Halland Johannessen and Anders Halland Johannessen, Vegard Stake Laengen and Øystein Stake Laengen.

Of course, next to all the Yateses, Van Dijkes and Oliveiras of the world, there's also a bunch of people that makes you go "This person has a twin?" and a large group of people in the "Who even are these people?" category.

Not many opposite-sex twins.

If counting races that have changed names then Nicolas Roche and Stephen Roche have both won the Route du Sud / Tour Midi-Pyrénées. Dan Martin also won it which is kind of family related.

Here's the link to the family related statistics.

What family members have won in the same race?

Adrie van der Poel and Mathieu van der Poel have won both in Tour de Luxembourg (). Alan Banaszek and Norbert Banaszek have won both in Tour Battle of Warsaw (2.2). Adrie van der Poel and Mathieu van der Poel have won both in Ronde van Vlaanderen / Tour des Flandres (SPP).

Same race wins only goes from 1987, so no Merckx.


Quite a lot of the same day wins appear to be national championships.


Probably not surprising, the older Zberg brother mostly Beat the younger.

Although it wasn't the same the race nor on the road, and despite none of them actually winning, I still think Lara Torresani and her two daughters, Giada and Letizia Borghesi, all getting silver medals at this year's Italian CX Championships deserves a mention.

I don't think any sport will better the Chilean quadruplets who all won rowing gold medals in the space of 30 minutes at the Pan American Games last year.
