Past Giro d'Italia General Classification Winners

Here are the last ten winners of the Giro d'Italia general classification, Italian riders do have a great record in the race with forty-one Italian riders winning a total of seventy-one of the previous general classifications, however, the tide is turning, since 2008, only four of the sixteen events have been won by Italian riders which include none of the last seven, Vincenzo Nibali success in 2016 was the last. Jai Hindley's (Australia) success in 2022 and Primož Roglič (Slovenia) in 2023 were first-time winners for the countries.

There has not been a back-to-back winner since Miguel Indurain achieved this feat in 1992-93, prior to him you have to go all of the way back to the 1960s to find the previous rider to win it back-to-back and that was Franco Balmamion in 1962-63.

Past Giro d'Italia Mountains Classification Winners

This goes to the rider who performs best over the mountains, the King of the Mountains! Each climb is given classification and points are awarded based on difficulty and bonus points also go on offer. Italy and Spain have been the two most dominant forces in this market winning a total of fifty-five between them with thirty-nine for Italy and sixteen for Spain and since 2007 the winner has come from either of those two counties in ten of those sixteen years, however, the tide is turning as neither of them have won it since 2019.
