It really isn’t. The Worlds and the five monuments are very rarely won by anyone other than the best riders of the era. That’s because only the very best riders are able to make race winning moves when the distant reaches 250 kms.
Milan-San Remo is a great case on point; it’s often said it is the easiest monument to finish but the hardest to win. If you look at the list of winners there are very, very few lucky winners, it’s mainly the best riders of each era.
