Pierino Baffi

Cycling Disciplines

Pierino Baffi was an Italian professional road bicycle racer, born on 15 September 1930 and died on 27 March 1985. He is remembered for the 1958 season, in which he won stages in all three of the Grand Tours, the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana. His English Wikipedia article says he was the second cyclist after Miguel Poblet to win stages in all three in a single year, and that as of 2016 only Alessandro Petacchi in 2003 had repeated the feat. Baffi's son Adriano also became a professional cyclist, so the family carried the sport into a second generation. The article gives no other results, so none are claimed here.
