If he podiums the Vuelta this year he will be the youngest to podium all three. He will have to win the Vuelta this year and win the Tour next year to be the youngest to win all three. I think he'll do the first, not the second.ILovecycling said:Lol that will be fvcking epic if Quintana beats Hinault record

Riders who might join this list after the Tour with a podium finish (p) or top-10 (t): König (p) & D. Caruso (p).Netserk said:Yep, I have it bookmarked Only Nibali will change status after this Tour. Nothing changed after the Giro this year. Quintana will probably join it after the Vuelta.SafeBet said:Netserk, I think you had a topic last year mentioning every rider with a top10 in all 3 gts. Can you find it?
BTW the criteria is top-10 in all three, with one of them being a podium. Three 10th places ain't enough.

Armchair cyclist said:I'm surprised that so little has been made of Contador's attempt on a Grand Slam (albeit split across two seasons). Given his popularity here, I have been expecting constant reference to it.
Has anyone else ever been reigning champ in two GCs and considered to have a decent shot at the third? I can't think of it if it has happened.
Obviously there was no question of 3 within a 12 month period in the days of a Spring Vuelta, but I find the underplaying of what might be at hand a surprising miss by the hype machine.

Merckx and Hinault have both done it in the past, winning Giro and Tour and then the Vuelta the following year. Merckx in 72/73 and Hinault a decade later.
As you might've guessed, the list isn't complete. I started with counting the days for the winners of the last 25 years, but it's not as easy to find out who was leading which classification after each and every stage past that. If you have some information regarding that you are welcome to contribute.Singer01 said:Netserk said:Number of days in Green (will be updated):

I don't really see how these stats are interesting.
The circumstances that these riders raced in are too different:
First WC only in 1927.
First Olympics for pros in 1996.
World Cup/PT/WT now - it is not unreasonable that Coppi/Bartali etc would have raced Liege if they had PT/WT at their time
Different characteristics of races - a punchy finish in Ans vs flat finish before, Lombardia with a more difficult finale instead of a flat finish
Yeah, and some times Mont Ventoux was in the Tour, some times not...
The real critique you could make is that the Cuelta wasn't very prestigious until this century.
