GRAND TOUR HAT TRICKS

Primož Roglič successfully defended his red jersey at the Vuelta a España, making him a member of a select club of riders: those who have won the same grand tour three or more times in a row: the hat trick heroes. There are just 10 of these, and range from Louison Bobet in the 50s to Chris Froome and Roglič in recent years. Eddy Merckx still remains the king, obviously.
