Mads Pedersen second quickest of all time to complete his set of Grand Tour stage wins
CyclingFriday, 12 May 2023 at 15:00
Completing his 'Pederslam' and adding a Giro d'Italia stage win to his prior victories at the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana, Mads Pedersen has achieved this feat in the second shortest amount of time of anyone ever.
After taking his first Grand Tour stage win on the 13th stage of the 2022 Tour de France, Pedersen outsprinted Fred Wright and Hugo Houle to take victory in Saint-Etienne. Following that up with a hat-trick of successes at the 2022 Vuelta a Espana, the Trek - Segafredo sprinter travelled to Italy with a clear goal in his mind.
Now thanks to his dramatic victory on stage 6 of the Giro d'Italia, Pedersen has completed the Grand Slam of Grand Tour stage wins. In total it was only 300 days between his first victory at a three-week stage race and his most recent.
Only the now retired, Italian sprinter Daniele Bennati has ever achieved victories at all three Grand Tours in a quicker time. While riding for Lampre-Fondital and Liquigas, Bennati took stage wins at each of the 2007 Tour de France, 2007 Vuelta a Espana and the 2008 Giro d'Italia in just 291 days.

- Fantastic climb by Tiberi. Let’s see more of this from him.Pedalmasher19-02-2026
- Loved watching this finale. Brutal climb, looked like a brand new Middle Eastern Alpe d'Huez with those switchbacks on the mountain edge. So much grit on Del Toro's face. I really thought he might catch Tiberi with about 1500m to go. Great stage.antipodeanpedalfan19-02-2026
- You’re expecting cycling to stay immune from this type of conjecture when the worlds’ most watched and listened to figure spouts out similar unsubstantiated crap daily? Most people just follow bad example because it’s a lot easier than figuring out a good one. Anyway, it could be anything, perhaps he just knew Andrew too well, or Sir Jim didn’t want him helping any more of those pesky foreigners and paid him off ;-) He doesn’t seem the Epstein type but if that was it, kudos to him for being practically the only one to resign BEFORE being found out. I find it very concerning that no-one has much to say about any of these people who keep at it until they just can no longer claim their innocence. Who did they learn from, Lance?Mistermaumau19-02-2026

- Ironic no, a British boss of British companies has no problem outsourcing a large proportion of jobs to foreigners and then complains a proportion of that proportion actually lives in the country. And do you expect if you leave that no-one will take your spot?Mistermaumau18-02-2026

- I agree for certain situations, especially camps and popular training destinations but teams can’t manage or afford to chaperone all their riders all the time. Off season they still have to train and want to be home as much as they can (this is also where they are easiest to « catch »). On the other hand, if riders like Tadej accept « invitations » to ride on certain roads just for promotional purposes like in Gran Canaria they are also responsible for any trouble it attracts, you can’t expect people to stay away once you deliberately notify where you’re going to be and when.
