A historic day was recorded yesterday as another big race came to an end in Madrid, Spain. It was the third of the big 3-week races, La Vuelta which is held in Spain. Surprisingly, unexpectedly and truly astonishingly, all three races were won by members of the same team, Jumbo Visma. The first one was the Giro d’Italia, held in Italy between May and June, won this year by Primoz Roglic of Slovenia. The second one was the Tour de France, held throughout July and won by Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark, and yesterday’s La Vuelta came to an end and was won by Sepp Kuss of the United States. The leaders and eventual winners wear an iconic colored jersey, Pink in the Giro d’Italia, Yellow in the Tour de France and Red in La Vuelta. The big surprise came yesterday as all three of them came in the first three places, and are seen here together as they were crowned in Madrid. They also unveiled a special jersey yesterday which they used, combining the pink, yellow and red colors in horizontal stripes to celebrate the triple victory of the same team, Jumbo Visma. Congratulations to Sepp Kuss, a very humble and unpretentious biker who was always helping the other two to win their own races, and this time, they helped him achieve such an illustrious milestone. Winning a Grand Tour is like winning a Grand Slam in tennis or golf.
