But then how many of monuments/Olympic RR and TT/worlds RR and TT/ stage races/ one day races/ nationals rr and tt/ and stage wins equal a grand tour. I don’t think many would try and argue that Canc, Boonen, and Gilbert had lesser careers than Evans, Heras, and Menchov despite their Grand Tour and other success. Or Cunego and he had quite a bit of success in his rocky career.
People have said before and I agree with that monuments or one day races you have to go all in for because you don’t have another chance. During a Grand Tour the overall contenders are able to rest on days that are not GC relevant. Obviously if all the Grand Tour stages were raced like a monument, stage gaps and DNFs would be higher.
