With the first men's Grand Tour of 2026 upon us, it's time for another cycling quiz.
The 2026 Giro d'Italia gets underway in Bulgaria with a Grande Partenza that all the key favourites will be looking to come through unscathed in their bid for the coveted pink jersey.
The likes of Jonas Vingegaard, Egan Bernal, Adam Yates, and Giulio Pellizzari are considered among the favourites for this year's Corsa Rosa. But there are plenty of other GC contenders who shouldn't be written off, especially considering the unpredictability of a three-week Grand Tour.
Many greats of the sport have conquered the Giro and donned the iconic maglia rosa. In recent years, that battle has gone down to the wire, with 2025 winner, Simon Yates (Visma-Lease a Bike), only moving into the race lead on the race's penultimate stage, such were the demands and rollercoaster of action in the final week.
But aside from Yates – who redeemed himself after letting the jersey slip through his fingers during the 2018 Giro – which other men's champions of the Italian Grand Tour can you remember?
Our quiz below will put your knowledge to the test, as we ask you to name as many men's Giro d'Italia maglia rosa winners as possible.
The race started in 1909, but due to both the First and Second World Wars, there have been only 108 editions. With this in mind, we're giving you a plentiful 20-minute time limit to tackle this quiz, and of course, you can always use a hint by signing in or registering via the button at the top right of the page.
