The 15 cyclists who have completed Giro, Vuelta and Tour in 2023: Van Vleuten and Labous, the only ones with 3 top 10 finishes
Cycling
In the world of cycling, the Grand Tours are the holy grail of challenges. Completing the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España and the Tour de France in the same year is a feat that seems increasingly difficult given the increase in the average level and number of days of the races;
This season 2023 only fifteen female cyclists have managed to complete the three Grand Tours. Giro d'Italia Donne, the Women's Tour of Spain and the Women's Tour de France have had at least 7 stages this season, which has meant that, unlike in the past, far fewer cyclists have decided to race them all. Among these 15, only two women, Annemiek van Vleuten and Juliette Labous, have managed to finish in the top-10 in each of the GTs, so is it over for women's cycling to race the big three?

- I see (elsewhere) that Alaphilippe had more to say than what got relayed in this stub. Me: he was very good early but his latter third trajectory was the pits. His old boss did what he could (huffed and puffed) but Julian couldn't get his greatness back. Sometimes I wonder if crashes that didn't look like much changed the course of the rider.flyer14-11-2026
- I wouldn't classify it as a gift because the nasty consequences of taking it from Sepp would have been great and would persist and he knew it.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. Tratnik's good and Red Bull's better so Tratnik may get what he wants.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026

15 ciclistas han completado las 3 GV (entre 7 y 10 días cada una). Sólo Van Vleuten y Labous han acabado en el top-10 en las 3. Será que la exigencia y preparación están cambiando y veremos de ahora en adelante cada vez menos mujeres hacer Vuelta, Giro y Tour el mismo año?
