Jonas Vingegaard completes historic Grand Slam with 2026 Giro dItalia win
Jonas Vingegaard today became the eighth rider in history to win all three Grand Tours after sealing victory in the 2026 Giro d’Italia, completing a dominant three-week campaign that left rivals trailing by more than five minutes. The 29-year-old Danish champion crossed the finish line in Rome on Sunday, securing his first Giro title and his fourth Grand Tour overall, following two Tour de France wins and last year’s Vuelta a España triumph.
Vingegaard’s victory was never in doubt after he claimed five mountain stage wins, including a decisive solo attack on Piancavallo during the penultimate stage. His final margin of 5:22 over second-placed Geraint Thomas underscored his dominance, with the Visma-Lease a Bike rider controlling the race from start to finish. The final stage in Rome ended in a sprint won by Italy’s Jonathan Milan, but the spotlight remained firmly on Vingegaard, who now joins an elite group that includes Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Vincenzo Nibali.
The win marks a historic milestone for Danish cycling, with King Frederik congratulating Vingegaard in a public statement. "Winning all three is very special for me," Vingegaard said after the race, though his focus has already shifted to July’s Tour de France, where he will face his biggest rival, Tadej Pogačar. With the Giro now in the books, Vingegaard’s preparations for the Grande Boucle—where he aims to reclaim the yellow jersey—are set to intensify. His ability to conserve energy in Italy, despite the race’s demands, has only heightened expectations for their next showdown.
