Trivia question

Which riders in recent times have held the leader's jersey in all 3 Grand Tours?
I don't know the answer and I'll be offline for much today, but as a start I can think of:
Contador
Evans
McGee
I need 75 words so the rest is just filler. The question was prompted by Evans taking Pink in stage 2; actually I think he got the collection in last year's Vuelta. Contador obviously. And McGee due to his prologue expertise.

Maybe an accountant can help with the answer to this?

Doh do I feel foolish
Didn’t see Contador listed in your question. Guess I had my Aussie Filter on :-)

If I wasn't tired right now, I'd make this my night's goal...
but I am so I’ll give you Merckx.

Did Indurain ever lead the Vuelta?
Or maybe some sprinters… they often get to wear the leader jersey early on
Hinault Gimondi and Anquetil
have all won all 3 along with Eddy and Alberto, so there’s five easy answers.
I am again mistaken
Never led the Giro, was part of a TTT winning Garmin team but VdV got to wear the jersey
How about Menchov?

Thanks... he's had the white jersey, so I thought he was worth a shot.

Cancellara?
What we do does not define who we are. What defines us is how well we rise after we fall.
He asked for recent times
Not the same as active riders?

Vino?

yet :)
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
on this topic - has Vino been welcomed to ride the tour?
Perhaps “welcomed” is not the right term, but given the bad blood (very poor pun), is there a reason to believe he might not be able to ride???

Yes he has...after LBL.

Yeah Prudhomme said he would be welcomed at the Tour this year. If it was really that bad he would not have been at L-B-L or other ASO races
Tommeke!, Tommeke!, Tommeke!, Tommeke!
