Chris Froome amassed seven Grand Tour victories during his distinguished career, a feat placing him jointly fourth on the all-time rankings. His legend is perhaps most strongly associated with his four Tour de France titles, but his dominance extended to the Vuelta a Espana, which he won twice.
Froome's journey to Grand Tour glory began with his 2011 Vuelta a Espana win, a victory later awarded retrospectively. He secured his first Tour de France in 2013, followed by a second in 2015. His 2016 Tour de France win featured a dramatic ascent of Mont Ventoux. In 2017, he claimed his fourth Tour de France title and also won the Vuelta a Espana, becoming one of only three riders to achieve the Tour-Vuelta double.
His final Grand Tour triumph came in the 2018 Giro d'Italia, a remarkable performance where he held all three Grand Tour titles simultaneously. This victory, secured after a spectacular long-range attack, cemented his legacy as a true titan of three-week stage racing.
