Philippe Gilbert's career stands as a benchmark for versatility in cycling. He is one of only two riders to sweep the Ardennes classics in a single year, and his four Amstel Gold Race victories are a record. His world title in 2012 capped a season of dominance, and his wins at Flanders and Roubaix proved his range. Few riders have matched his ability to win on both hills and cobbles.
