From Dino Zandegù to Jonas Vingegaard, the Tirreno-Adriatico Crédit Agricole has told countless stories of champions during its journey, which began in 1966 and has never stopped.
The early editions of the “Race of the Two Seas” were dominated by Italy and Belgium, with Roger De Vlaeminck claiming six consecutive overall victories from 1972 to 1977. “Monsieur Roubaix” holds the record for overall and stage wins: 15, compared to the 11 of Óscar Freire.
Behind the Belgian legend, a small group of riders has won the race twice: Giuseppe Saronni (1978, 1982); Francesco Moser (1980, 1981); Rolf Sørensen (1987, 1992); Tony Rominger (1989, 1990); Vincenzo Nibali (2012, 2013); Nairo Quintana (2015, 2017); Primož Roglič (2019, 2023); and Tadej Pogačar (2021, 2022).
