There are only eight of them. Eight male riders who, in over a hundred years of professional cycling, managed to win all three Grand Tours: the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España. Team Visma | Lease a Bike wishes to honour this unique group with the exclusive pin, as a lasting tribute to one of the sport's most unique achievements.

The pin will be awarded to all eight riders who belong to this exceptional group, or to their relatives. Jacques Anquetil, Felice Gimondi, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali, Chris Froome and Jonas Vingegaard. With Vingegaard’s victory in the 2026 Giro d'Italia, the Dane became the eighth rider in history to join this legendary company, completing a collection that includes his Tour de France titles (2022 and 2023) and his Vuelta a España victory (2025).

After the Giro d’Italia, CEO Richard Plugge presented the pin to Vingegaard with the words: "Jonas has won all three Grand Tours. Only seven other riders have ever achieved that. That shows just how difficult it is. Because there is no official badge of honour for this achievement, we wanted to create something special for Jonas: a pin. It also belongs to the other seven riders who have accomplished this, and to anyone who will ever achieve it in the future."

The pin symbolises not one victory, but a career. Not one rider, but eight champions from different generations, united by the same extraordinary achievement. Team Visma | Lease a Bike is proud to initiate this tribute and hopes to give a lasting place to an achievement that has no equal in cycling.
