I think that's because they were. Wins from farther out, from the front in a sprint, from a beaten position, riding away when he chooses to... looks like most of his wins were purely done on his own, with raw power over 'traditional' team work, timing and smart riding. (Admittedly, I'm a fanboy, happy to be proven wrong, and I rooted for WVA in the Strade Bianche, great stuff)
MVDP’s road wins have seemed more epic somehow than Wout Van Aert’s despite Wout winning Strade and Milan San Remo.
