From Anquetil to Froome, here are all the riders who have won the Giro, Tour and Vuelta

Jonas Vingegaard is poised to join an elite group of cyclists who have triumphed in all three Grand Tours — the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a España — as he nears victory at the 2026 Giro. Having already secured wins at the Tour in 2022 and 2023 and the Vuelta in 2025, the Danish rider could become the eighth male cyclist to achieve this remarkable career milestone. His potential success would also see him edge ahead of fellow contender Tadej Pogačar in joining this exclusive club. The history of riders completing the Grand Tour treble dates back to Jacques Anquetil, who was the first to win all three, although the Vuelta was a shorter race during his era. Subsequent riders like Felice Gimondi and Bernard Hinault faced longer and more demanding versions of the Vuelta, which gradually evolved into the 21-stage format familiar today. Notable names such as Eddy Merckx, Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali, and Chris Froome have also completed the treble, with Contador being the first to win all three in their modern 21-stage formats. Despite his five consecutive Tour de France victories in the early 1990s, Miguel Indurain never pursued the Vuelta seriously, preventing him from joining the list of triple Grand Tour winners. No cyclist has ever won all three Grand Tours in a single calendar year, though Merckx, Hinault, and Froome have held all three titles simultaneously across two seasons. Froome’s career, in particular, was marked by this achievement before a crash in 2019 curtailed his time as a leading general classification contender. On the women’s side, Annemiek van Vleuten stands alone as the only female rider to have won all three Grand Tours, completing the treble in 2022. She secured victories at the Giro Donne, the inaugural Tour de France Femmes, and the Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta, although the latter’s status as a full Grand Tour remains debated due to its shorter length. The women’s Grand Tour calendar has only recently expanded, with the Tour de France Femmes returning in 2022 after a long absence and the Vuelta evolving from a one-day race into a multi-stage event.
