Bahamontes on the Triple Grand Tour Challenge

It is possible to do all three Grand Tours in one year. I did it in 1958, winning the King of the Mountains classifications in the Vuelta and Tour.

In his first blog for Cyclingnews, Federico Martín Bahamontes, six times Tour de France King of the Mountains and rated the all-time greatest ever Tour climber by L'Equipe newspaper last year, explains how he and his fellow pros of the 1950s would tackle the early season.
