Each has a long history and specific individual characteristics. They are currently the one-day races in which most points can be earned in the UCI World Tour and the only 3rd categorized UCI races, behind only Grand Tour races: Tour de France (1st category) and Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España (both 2nd category).

Eddy Merckx is by far the most successful monument rider with 19 wins in total. He is also one of two cyclists in history to win three monuments in one season, a feat he achieved in 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1975. Tadej Pogačar is the other rider to do this, in 2025 and 2026.

==Origin== The expression "cycling monument" has been used since the early days of cycle racing. In 1904, Henri Desgrange wrote in L'Auto that "The "Tour de France" is over and its second edition will, I fear, have also been the last. [...] And yet, it seemed to us and it still seems to us that we had built with this great event the most lasting and most imposing monument to the sport of cycling".<ref>{{Cite news |date=25 July 1904 |title=Le Tour de France 1904.

In 1949, French sports journalist Albert Baker d'Isy wrote about the 47th edition of the Paris–Roubaix race, titling his article in the French newspaper Ce soir "''Paris–Roubaix: "monument" du cyclisme".'' The term was used again by journalist Jacques Goddet in 1950, writing about Fausto Coppi's victory at Paris–Roubaix – "Monument of international cycling, Paris-Roubaix crushed the riders with its legend as well as its diabolical difficulties".<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Colombani |first=Xavier |date=17 March 2016 |title=Pourquoi les appelle-t-on des Monuments ? |url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Infos/Pourquoi-les-appelle-t-on-des-monuments/785576 |access-date=2025-03-11 |website=L'Équipe |language=fr}}</ref>

When the Super Prestige Pernod had to be abandoned at the end of 1987, Hein Verbruggen (president of the FICP) went on to create a new competition (which became the UCI Road World Cup), where five races were given a fixed position under the name 'cycling monument', and these were the five races still known as monuments.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://krantenbankzeeland.nl/issue/stm/1987-04-03/edition/null/page/5|title=Verbruggen streeft naar modernisering wielersport|trans-title=Verbruggen strives for modernisation of cycling|language=Dutch|page=5|date=1987-04-03|work=De Stem|publisher=Krantenbank Zeeland}}</ref>

The term began being used more by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and cycling media at the end of the 20th century,<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Lindsey |first=Joe |date=2024-03-01 |title=What makes a Monument? |url=https://escapecollective.com/what-makes-a-monument/ |access-date=2025-03-11 |website=Escape Collective |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |last=Robinson |first=Joe |date=2021-03-08 |title=The day Strade Bianche finally became a Monument |url=https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/the-day-strade-bianche-finally-became-a-monument |access-date=2025-03-19 |website=Cyclist |language=en |quote=the concept of a Monument was only brought to fruition in the mid-1990s by then UCI President Hein Verbruggen and certain race organisers as a marketing tool to better promote certain races.}}</ref> with the term designating the five most prestigious classic cycle races, namely Milan–San Remo, Tour of Flanders, Paris–Roubaix, Liège–Bastogne–Liège and Giro di Lombardia.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":5" />

Since 2010, the races are considered by the Union Cycliste Internationale to be more prestigious than other one-day races that are raced by the professional peloton, with only the Grand Tour stage races gaining more ranking points for the winner.<ref name=":0" />

In 2017, ''L'Équipe'' wrote that the five monuments were "the oldest one-day races, the most famous, the most unique" and that they had "prestigious entry fields" of champion riders.<ref name=":0" />

==Future monuments== Media and riders have discussed whether other classic cycling races meet the criteria of a cycling monument. By the 2020s, Strade Bianche – an Italian one-day race first held in 2007, defined by its use of white gravel roads – was considered to be the most likely candidate,<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Cossins |first=Peter |date=2018-03-05 |title=Should Strade Bianche be cycling's sixth Monument? |url=https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/comment/strade-bianche-cyclings-sixth-monument-371591 |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=cyclingweekly.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Neef |first=Matt De |date=2019-03-12 |title=Photo gallery: Strade Bianche, road cycling's sixth Monument? |url=https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-racing/photo-gallery-strade-bianche-road-cyclings-sixth-monument/ |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=Velo |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Robinson |first=Joe |date=2021-03-08 |title=The day Strade Bianche finally became a Monument |url=https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/the-day-strade-bianche-finally-became-a-monument |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=Cyclist |language=en}}</ref> with ''Cycling News'' stating in 2025 that "there is no longer any debate that Strade Bianche is cycling's sixth Monument".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Farrand |first=Stephen |date=2025-03-09 |title=Strade Bianche was spectacular yet again, but here is how we think it can be even better |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/strade-bianche-was-spectacular-yet-again-but-here-is-how-it-can-be-even-better-analysis/ |access-date=2025-03-11 |website=cyclingnews.com |language=en |quote=In just 19 years, Strade Bianche has become one of most loved races in the sport, with the women's race as important as the men's race.

In the women's tour, media have suggested that Trofeo Alfredo Binda-Comune di Cittiglio (the oldest one-day race on the women's calendar) and Strade Bianche Donne may be worthy of the "monument" moniker.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=O'Shea |first=Sadhbh |date=2023-03-17 |title=Are there monuments in women's cycling, and what are they? |url=https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/are-there-monuments-in-womens-cycling-and-what-are-they/ |access-date=2025-01-29 |website=Velo |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Statistics== ===Most monuments wins=== [[File:Eddy Merckx en 1974.jpg|thumb|180px|Eddy Merckx in 1974]] Only three riders have won all five monument races during their careers: Rik Van Looy, Eddy Merckx, and Roger De Vlaeminck, all three Belgians, and only Eddy Merckx won each of them more than once.

Seven riders won four different monuments. With multiple victories in all the other monuments, Sean Kelly almost joined the top group, finishing second in the Tour of Flanders on three occasions (1984, 1986 and 1987). Kelly is the only other rider, after Merckx, to win four different monuments on multiple occasions. Dutch rider Hennie Kuiper won each monument except Liège–Bastogne–Liège, in which he finished second in 1980. Frenchman Louison Bobet also won all but Liège–Bastogne–Liège. Belgian rider Fred De Bruyne came close as well, finishing second in the Giro di Lombardia in 1955 and winning the other four races during his career. Germain Derycke also won four, all except the Giro di Lombardia. Tadej Pogačar is the most recent rider to win four different monuments, all except Paris-Roubaix, in which he finished second in 2025 and 2026.

Tadej Pogačar is the first rider to achieve a podium finish in all 5 monuments in the same season in 2025: M-R(3rd), ToF(1st), P-R(2nd), L-B-L(1st), GdL(1st). This streak also means he has the most consecutive monument podiums with 11 in a row, when 2024: L-B-L(1st), GdL(1st), and 2026: M-R(1st), ToF(1st), P-R(2nd), L-B-L(1st) are included. He is also the first one winning 4 monuments in a row, from L-B-L in 2025 to ToF in 2026.

Tadej Pogačar is also the first rider ever to win the same monument 5 years in a row with his winning streak at Giro di Lombardia going from 2021 to 2025, eclipsing the previous record held by Fausto Coppi since 1949 in the same race. Eddy Merckx holds the record of most victories in a single Monument, winning Milan-San Remo seven times.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023 |title=Milan-San Remo |url=https://firstcycling.com/race.php?r=4 |website=FirstCycling.com |language=en}}</ref>

2025 was also the first time ever 2 riders won all 5 monuments in a single season between them with Tadej Pogačar winning Liège–Bastogne–Liège, Tour of Flanders and Giro di Lombardia, whilst Mathieu van der Poel won Milan-San-Remo and Paris-Roubaix. They are the only riders to both win two monuments in a season, doing so three season in a row, in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Together they won eleven monuments in a row, from the Tour of Flanders 2024 to Paris-Roubaix 2026 (Pogačar won 7, van der Poel won 4).

===Winners of two monuments in a single year=== 26 different riders (including Merckx and Pogačar) have managed to win two Monuments in the same year. The most common "double" consists of the two cobbled classics (Tour of Flanders and Paris–Roubaix), which have been won by the same rider in the same year on 13 occasions. The Italian "double" (Milan–San Remo and Giro di Lombardia) has been achieved 11 times. All 10 possible doubles have been achieved by multiple riders. Below the list of all doubles with years in bold indicating that they were part of a triple of monument wins (see the section above).

=== Most consecutive monuments === Tadej Pogačar won four consecutive monuments over two seasons – the 2025 Liège–Bastogne–Liège, the 2025 Il Lombardia, the 2026 Milan-San Remo and the 2026 Tour of Flanders, the only rider to have done so. His streak ended with the 2026 Paris–Roubaix, where he finished second, behind Wout van Aert, before once more winning 2026 Liège–Bastogne–Liège a week later.

==Women's events== {{As of|2025|lc=n}}, four of the five monuments hold women's races as part of the UCI Women's World Tour. At least two monuments have had women's races in each calendar year since 2017, as well as in 2004 and 2005. {{As of|2025|lc=n}}, Giro di Lombardia is the only monument without an equivalent race for women.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wilson |first=Ewan |date=2024-10-11 |title=Opinion: Il Lombardia shouldn't be a Monument in its current form |url=https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/opinion-il-lombardia-monument |access-date=2024-12-12 |website=Cyclist |language=en}}</ref>
