Historically, Tadej Pogačar owns Il Lombardia even more than he owns the Tour de France. He’s raced it 5 times and has 5 dominant victories. He’s still out with injury, so the obvious candidates will try to score a massive monument victory in his absence: Evenepoel, del Toro, and Seixas
![On one occasion, Leterme quipped that the only things common to all Belgians are "the King, the football team, some beers...".[16] Upon being asked by a television journalist to name which event is commemorated by Belgium's national day (21 July), Leterme wrongly replied that it was the proclamation of the constitution, when the correct answer is the coronation of the country's first King, Leopold I of Belgium. Subsequently, he was asked if he knew the French version of the Belgian national anthem, whereupon he began to sing the Marseillaise, the French national anthem, instead of the Brabançonne.[17][18][19]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ibjev7r7iwohjimeimryfawa/bafkreiaqj7jds7g2i5lz2csda2yt6w2v5yzaviairudp5d7wy7xiitgkfm)
