Miguel Indurain

He also won two Giro d'Italia titles (1992, 1993) and set the world hour record in 1994, covering 53.040 kilometers, a mark that stood for two years. Indurain's 2.5-hour margin of victory in the 1995 Tour was the largest since 1952, underscoring his superiority. Big Mig's reign redefined Spanish cycling, placing him 30% ahead of Pau Gasol in consecutive international titles across sports.
