Q3 For a piece of pie
Which cyclists have won a stage in all 3 the GT's named Giro, Tour and Vuelta?
1. Google restriction
2. No more than 4 names at a time.
3. If the rules are lame. Ignore them.
4. If you are the only one who think the rules are lame.. It's probably you.
5. I will update once in a while with good and wrong answers
6. There are 46 57 or more so just guess.
7. There are already 5 more rules than I intended to have.
8. The one who brought up the most names win
9. The pie is home cooked in Ireland and can only picked up in Ireland.
10. This doesn't mean there is whiskey in the pie
11 Be nice and bring a clover with you.
12. Be aware of rule 2
13 Let's start
14 Just 11 7 2 to go

Simon Gerrans...
one at a time for me. Actually, probably one all up.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Merckx must have--he won freaking everything.
It was just a long race--Edvald Boasson Hagen, on the Giro
Haha every question you ask about winning one of the answers is Merckx!
The rest is more of a gamble most of the time
Probably Jalabert, too.
Those multiple GT winners usually picked up stages along the way.
It was just a long race--Edvald Boasson Hagen, on the Giro
Duh--I mean multiple jersey winners. He won jerseys in all the GTs, not all the GTs.
It was just a long race--Edvald Boasson Hagen, on the Giro
contador?
surely.

couldn’t believe no one else had said him, made me question my memory

Did he? I thought he won the Giro without any stage wins.

Yeah, TTT went to Garmin

Mr Fragile, really? Let me guess, the evil team. :-P
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
conta didn't win a giro stage .... yet

Posted a good few in the other pie thread before I saw this one had started, so no peeking!
Miguel Poblet, Pierino Baffi, Alessandro Petacchi, Mario Cipollini
http://www.irishpeloton.com/
Shite, just read through all the comments there which I should have done before posting.
Petacchi’s been said already, obviously. Baffi, is definitely right, sure he’s one of the 3 to win in all the 3 Grand Tours in the one year.

?
The question isn't who has crashed out of all 3 GT's
Look, it's a bird...no, it's a plane....oh never mind it's just fucking balloon boy
EBH!
Oh, wait—I was posting that from 2014.
I wonder if Cav will ever do the Vuelta just to even out his palmares?

Rominger
Menchov

Do TTTs count in this list
If so Heras and David Millar may be there
Millar's won in the Tour and the Vuelta in TTs
and in the giro in a TTT. If my memory serves me right.

heras, as in robert? didn't win a giro stage

oops, yes he did, my bad....
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
2003 ttt with postal
if ttt wins do indeed count, unless he got shed from the team’s group, but normally it was noval or soemone getting dropped
but the whole team is awarded the win, no matter if a rider was dropped or not
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Only 4 guesses allowed?
Ocana?
van Poppel? (Surely there is a Dutch guy in the list?)
Janssen? (See above)
Hermans? (Wild guessing now)

Just one small point, here
Are the pie-questions deliberately being posted at a time when most Aussies are asleep? Hmmm?
(stuffed if I know what Seahorse was doing up at 4am – I said most Aussies)
I’m gonna boycott the pie questions! (Well, I don’t have much choice, really… I am NOT gonna miss out of a night’s sleep waiting for a pice question! Seahorse must really like pie…)
I assure you that I am in earnest
I am not staying up all night for pie-questions. And now I am going to work (where I do not have access to the cafe, to answer pie questions) ;-). ‘S ok – it’s probably not pie floater anyway…
Gerben Karstens
Who’d’ve thunk. Sorry, I confirmed this one despite the “no google” rule. There I saw that Jerommeke Blijlevens also belongs on the list.

Alfredo Binda?
I’m pretty sure he won stages in the Tour de France, and he was dominant enough that he must have won one or two if he entered the Vuelta!
4 guesses
Sean Kelly
Pedro Delgado
Moreno Argentin
Pavel Tonkov (can’t remember if he won a TdF stage)
Fact check
Kelly: no Giro win, i’m not even sure he even raced it
Delgado: no Giro win, despite 2 top 20 finish GC
Argentin: no Vuelta win
Tonkov: no TdF win
But I got one, my idol from my kids year: Charly Mottet !
by FrenchKheldar on Dec 9, 2009 4:36 PM EST up reply actions
two more, with asterisks
Aitor Gonzalez ()
Michel Pollentier ()
asterisk = caught doping at some point in the career.
Also, give me an asterisk, because I too am cheating.
thanks again to TTT

LANCE WINS EVERYTHING HE MUST BE ON THIS LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look, it's a bird...no, it's a plane....oh never mind it's just fucking balloon boy
Lance.. Let me see..
Was that the asshole who kept skipping the Giro and Vuelta?
Than the answer is.. He is to small to belong on the list
hahahahahahaha
+1 million, a reason why he can’t be the greatest of all time.
Look, it's a bird...no, it's a plane....oh never mind it's just fucking balloon boy
what? not better than Merckx?
but he won more Tours! He won more tours than anyone! Therefore he is the best! (heavy sarcasm)
The Tour?
Does that have cobbles? If not, it doesn’t count. Just ask Chris
by Douglas Ansel on Dec 9, 2009 10:47 PM EST up reply actions
Others are Dimitri Konyshev
Marino Lejarreta, Tyler Hamilton (if your including his dope filled Vuelta TT), and Leonardo Piepoli
didn't his win get officially stripped?
as in erased from the record books? Sort of like failing an in-competition test you lose anything you won a lot of the time. I believe his Wikipedia page said it was reassigned or at least voided.
Isn't Piepo also striped out of the Tour?
Konyshev wasn’t on the list but is correct..
Lerajerreta is on the list so 6 to go.
one more and then I am going...
Seamus “Shay” Elliot… First big Irish rider and IrishPeloton wishes he got that one
Also good byt you know.. Little update
51 Svorado
52 Konyshev
53 Lejaretta
54 Elliot
55 Piepo(?)
6 to go
A French-Polish
2 Spanish
2 Italian
and a Colombian who just stopped a year ago!
Good luck
Shite
I don’t go online for one day and I miss my moment to shine.

Miguel Maria Lasa...he is one of the spaniards
Vincente Lopez Carril, another Spaniard Spaniard
and…
Ercole Gualazzini is an Italian
Giovanni Battaglin is another Italian
I don’t know who your talking about with the Colombian but I found one that has won stages in all 3 but I hit my limit of four now so I won’t say
Gosh I have way too much time on my hands…
The Colombian guy that I found was Oliverio Rincon but he was from the 80's...
but I think Pena was your guy though he is still racing with Rock Racing
by Vlaanderen90 on Dec 10, 2009 1:18 AM EST up reply actions
From what I got, he won a half stage (18A) in the '69 Vuelta
so that is why it might not be listed…
by Vlaanderen90 on Dec 10, 2009 12:04 PM EST up reply actions
I'm late to the party,
so I can’t come up with four names, but how about Walter Godefroot and Giovanni Battaglin?
e 
...
Guido Reybrouck
Rik Van Linden
Guido Bontempi
Julio jimenez
All 4 good!
The last 2 I was looking and th pic was clearly Jimenez.. (Now I think there are missing at least 10 names on the list but my list is done.. In half an hour the results!
What a briljant effort Frinking. You've entertained and informed :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yes. I must admit I winced at the amount of effort it would take...
but lots of people had a lot of fun, and a few people who don’t post often obviously had a great time. I’m in awe of everyone’s knowledge.
PS. *beforehand ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Thanx and you was leading for a minute so well done to you..
Now looking through the names there where a lot of obvious weren’t there?
A lot seem obvious now, but I certainly wasn't confident...

That Murphry thing is happening again.
Well done to everyone!
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
That one was at purpose
On the Who did what list only not.. Sorry but your name is.. eeh not getting in my memory..
And my name is FrenchKheldar for the record :)
And you can remove the ? in front of Charly Mottet, I checked and he did indeed win a stage in each of the Big 3. I’m glad to see him in such elite group !

Hey, you've just been frinked... it's an honour :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
What sort of pie Irishpeloton?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yeah
Scored me a point in less than a minute. That sure must be a high point-average in this race ;-)
It's a girl, and a boy!
No
Just a dad of twins that wishes he had more time to spend on PdC ;)
Great initiative Frinkster!
It's a girl, and a boy!
The pie
It will be a pie made of bitterness and animosity, due to the fact that I couldn’t partake in the latter half of the competition due to my stupid Internet Service Provider NTL being the worst organisation ever created, even more inept than the Irish government.

I was really tempted to rip off the answers you gave in the other thread...
Not really, but they were good.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yeah I forgot about that
I was in the middle of writing that post while Frinking started this whole new one. I got 26 all on my own, so I’m keeping my bitter pie and going into the corner to eat it on my own!
