Just days after Mads Pedersen, Magnus Cort has also completed his Grand Slam and won stages in the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España.
It didn't matter to Cort that EF Education-EasyPost rider achieved it after his compatriot, he was delighted with the victory after a very tough stage. "I am very happy with the victory, for me it is more important to do it than to be the first. It has been incredible to achieve it in one of the toughest stages that I have ridden on a bicycle. The wind and the water, it was incredible, there was a lot of confusion We didn't know what was going on."

He confessed that he did not have much information during the race due to a problem with his radio and in part due to that and in part due to the horrendous weather conditions that have continued to have an effect on this year's edition of the Giro d'Italia, it has been one of the hardest stages of his career as a professional. Radio or no radio, Cort was able to outsprint Derek Gee and Alessandro De Marchi to achieve victory.
"My radio didn't work, I didn't have much information, I fought all day, first to get into the escape and then to try to get to the top of the climb, we bought time, but not enough, so they chased us to the end and we kept fighting. I don't remember a stage like this. Fighting throughout the 5 hours, it was very hard, a very tough stage."

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
