Irishman Stephen Roche, born in Dublin on 28 November 1959, was a professional cyclist from 1981 to 1993. It was his tremendously successful 1987 season that defines him as a cycling hero.He became the fifth rider to win both the Giro d’Italia (including victory in both ITT stages) and the Tour de France in the same year. He went on to complete the Triple Crown by winning the UCI Road World Championship in Villach, Austria, beating the incumbent Champion Moreno Argentin by 1 second in the sprint. This feat made Roche only the second cyclist in history to win the Giro, Tour and the Worlds in the same year, after Eddy Merckx in 1974.The Irish champion’s induction into the Giro d’Italia Hall of Fame coincided with Ireland hosting the Grande Partenza of the Giro d'Italia in 2014.
