One of only six cycling superstars to have won all three Grand Tours during their careers, Frenchman Bernard Hinault was amongst the strongest riders of all time. Nicknamed ‘le Blaireau’ (“the Badger”), Hinault won the Giro d'Italia in 1980, 1982 and 1985. He competed in 13 Grand Tours during his career, winning ten of them and collecting two second place finishes. Born 14 November 1954 in Yffiniac, Brittany, his Corsa Rosa record is extraordinary, having competed three times, and won all three. Over the course of these three General Classification triumphs, he won six stages and wore the Maglia Rosa for 31 days. With such a magnificent palmares, Hinault is considered to be one of the three greatest Grand Tour racers of all time, alongside Fausto Coppi and Eddy Merckx.

Bernard Hinault. Unquestionably the “last of the greats”, waiting for other riders to arrive with the same stature and reach. He is a "cannibal" for the amount of races he was able to win, but not for greed. That was something he left to his opponents, which is also a point of merit.
