Which rider will complete their trilogy in Giro d'Italia 2025? Who belongs to the select club of riders who won a stage in all three GrandTours after these three weeks in Italy.

Six riders on the hunt for the trilogy in the 2025 Giro d'Italia

It is one of the most important achievements in cycling. The select group of 111 riders who have won a stage in all three Grand Tours in their careers can be expanded this Giro. Six riders can complete their trilogy of stage wins in all three Grand Tours in the 2025 Giro d’Italia: Wout Poels, Romain Bardet, Wout van Aert, Rafał Majka, Simon Clarke and Adam Yates. Below are their previous stage wins and an estimate of their chances of winning the trilogy.

Wout Poels

Previous victories:
Tour de France: 1 stage
Vuelta a España: 1 stage

Chances in the 2025 Giro: Poels is still a master of attacking in tough mountain stages. His recent form in the Tour of Turkey underlines that he is still performing at the top level. With several tough mountain stages in the Giro, his chances are real. It is his big goal, will he become the oldest ever to achieve the trilogy?

 

Romain Bardet

Previous victories:
Tour de France: 4 stages
Vuelta a España: 1 stage

Chances in Giro 2025: Bardet is riding his last months as a pro and shares the leadership at Team dsm-firmenich PostNL with Max Poole. His team is aiming for the general classification, but Bardet will certainly have room for stage hunting. A stage win as a farewell is realistic.

 

Wout van Aert

Previous victories:
Tour de France: 9 stages
Vuelta a España: 3 stages

Chances in Giro 2025: Van Aert is making his Giro debut and is the top favorite for several stages, especially in the transition stages and sprints. His versatility makes him the biggest contender for the trilogy in this Giro. Will his illness after the Amstel Gold Race still play tricks on him?

 

Rafał Majka

Previous victories:
Tour de France: 3 stages
Vuelta a España: 2 stages

Chances in Giro 2025: Majka has always been a master at winning from the breakaway in the high mountains. If he is given freedom within his team, a stage win is quite possible. With Ayuso and Yates in his team, however, those chances seem small in this Giro.

 

Simon Clarke

Previous victories:
Tour de France: 1 stage
Vuelta a España: 2 stages

Chances in Giro 2025: Clarke is an experienced attacker and has a nose for the right breakaway. Last year he came close several times, this year he can also strike in a chaotic Giro stage.

 

Adam Yates

Previous victories:
Tour de France: 1 stage
Vuelta a España: 1 stage

Opportunities in Giro 2025: Yates is a domestique/co-leader at UAE Emirates and is aiming for the general classification, but he can also go for daily success in mountain stages. His climbing ability certainly gives him a chance to join his twin brother as a Triple Club Member.

 

Conclusion

All six potential Triple Club Members have the qualities and the track record to complete their trilogy in the Giro. Poels and Van Aert in particular stand out in terms of opportunities, given their form, experience and role within their team. The Giro 2025 promises to be a historic edition in this respect
