    Sitting there having my breakfast and into my head pops an obvious one: John Degenkolb.

    Obvious because after an early career haul of Vuelta wins; his emotional win at last year's Tour and his epic, long range sprint win in the Giro.

    Viviani.
    “Road racing was over and the UCI had banned my riding positions on the track, so it was like ‘Jings, crivvens, help ma Boab, what do I do now? I know, I’ll go away and be depressed for 10 years’.”

    Tony Martin. Think Aru only won Vuleta GC

    Omar Fraile
  • RichN95.RichN95. Posts: 26,536
    Tony Martin - no Giro
    Omar Fraile - only won a TTT at the Vuelta, which doesn't count

    Fabio Aru.

    Can't think there are any gc players missing from that lot. Are we down to TDG type riders?
  • orraloonorraloon Posts: 11,403
    Thibaut Pinot

  • RichN95.RichN95. Posts: 26,536
    Aru yes
    Pinot yes

    The last one actually retired at the end of last season. I hadn't noticed. Daniele Bennati.

    Has to be the breakaway king, doesn't it?

    Thomas De Gendt

    Thomas De Gendt

    Focuszing723 got him further up. That's all of them now. I thought Bennati was still active, so there were actually only 19.

    There must be a similar statistic for wearing the leader's Jersey in all 3. I know Cav has, but I wouldn't know how to find the stats for the others

    Froome and Nibali have. (Thought I would get in first with the easy ones)

    Rohan Dennis

    TdF 2015, Giro and Vuelta 2018. Is what TTT/ITT do for you.

    Edit. Oh and Vuelta 2017 stage 1 as well.

    Fabio Aru has worn them all

    I think Cuddles also had all three at some point didn’t he? Certainly TdF and Giro.

    Staying on the theme of this thread I think it has to be current riders (potentially:)

    If we're going for recently retired riders: Wiggins, Millar and Contador
