Laurent Jalabert

Laurent Jalabert (born November 30, 1968 in Mazamet) is a French former professional road racing cyclist, from 1989 to 2002. Affectionately known as "Jaja" (slang for a glass of wine; when he continued drinking wine as a professional, the nickname stuck because of the similarity to his name), he won many one-day and stage races and was ranked number 1 in the 1990s. Although he never won the Tour de France, where he suffered altitude sickness, he won the Vuelta a España in 1995; as well as the leader's jersey, he won the sprinter's jersey and climber's jersey all in the same race - only the third rider to have done this in a Grand Tour. With Alessandro Petacchi, Eddy Merckx and Djamolidine Abdoujaparov, he is one of only four riders to win the points classification in all three grand tours.
