Rik van Steenbergen, Rik van Looy, Tom Simpson, Eddy Merckx, Roger de Vlaeminck, Jan Raas, Adrie van der Poel, Eddy Planckaerts, Michele Bartoli, Peter van Petegem, just to name a few... In the more modern cycling we've had Tom Boonen (2005, 2006 and 2012); Fabian Cancellara (2010, 2013 and 2014) and Mathieu van der Poel (2020, 2022 and 2024) win on three occasions... Between them legendary figures such as Stijn Devolder, Alexander Kristoff, Peter Sagan, Philippe Gilbert, Niki Terpstra, Alberto Bettiol, Kasper Asgreen... And the newest addition to the palmarès: Tadej Pogacar. In 2023 the Slovenian won with a solo attack over Mathieu van der Poel and
in 2025 he did it once again in a race that featured a spectacular finale.
