A1. The other seven men to win all three Grand Tours are Jacques Anquetil of France, Felice Gimondi of Italy, Eddy Merckx of Belgium, Bernard Hinault of France, Alberto Contador of Spain, Vincenzo Nibali of Italy, and Chris Froome of Great Britain.

A2. Yes. Alberto Contador and Chris Froome also never won a one-day classic.

A3. The two women are Dutch riders Annemiek van Vleuten and Demi Vollering.

A4. Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault, and Miguel Indurain never won the Tour de Suisse. Indurain, in fact, never rode it. Eddy Merckx did win the Tour de Suisse once, in 1974 — the same year he went on to win his fifth Tour de France.

A5. Yes. Italian rider Fabiana Luperini won the Giro d’Italia five times: four straight from 1995 through 1998, then remarkably again in 2008.
