Reigning Tour de France champion Egan Bernal has stated his ambition to join the select club of riders who have won each of the three Grand Tours. The Colombian, who last year became the first rider from his country to win the Tour, has yet to race either the Giro d'Italia or Vuelta a España.

Only seven riders have achieved the feat in the history of cycling to date – Jacques Anquetil, Felice Gimondi, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali and Chris Froome.
