You made an interesting (well for me) point about 4 wins in 8 years for vaughters. That's 4 in 40 attempts over 8 years ?
Do you have any comparison for the other teams, I tried briefly and not very competently but have you got the team records for this period? Wouldn't Sagan/Gilbert/Boonen/gva have as many on their own?

Riders who've scored their first pro win at a Monument in the last 50 years:
1969 - Jean-Pierre Monséré (Il Lombardia)
1984 - Johan Lammerts (Ronde van Vlaanderen)
1988 - Dirk Demol (Paris-Roubaix)
2011 - Oliver Zaugg (Il Lombardia)
2019 - Alberto Bettiol (Ronde van Vlaanderen)
As far as I can tell Zaugg's win was his one and only as a pro. None of the others were major winners, Monseré being the most successful - he won the World's on one of the most glamorous occasions, Leicester in 1970
