Published June 1, 2026 · Updated June 1, 2026 · The Guardian

Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard has completed a historic Grand Slam by winning the Giro d’Italia, joining an elite group of champions who have conquered all three Grand Tours.

Jonas Vingegaard has become only the eighth cyclist in history to complete a Grand Slam of victories, winning the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España.

The 29-year-old joins cycling legends including Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Chris Froome in achieving the rare feat. Despite his new milestone, Vingegaard remains overshadowed by his rival Tadej Pogacar, who has yet to win the Vuelta despite dominating the other two tours. newsbetting.bond
