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 seventeen events have been won by Italian riders which include none of the last eight, 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, before 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.
