Which rider won the first five consecutive Tour de France titles from 1991 to 1995?

Miguel Indurain won five consecutive Tour de France titles from 1991 through 1995. The Spanish rider became the first cyclist to win the Tour five times in a row, a record that marked one of the strongest sustained runs in the event’s history.

Indurain was particularly powerful in individual time trials, where riders race against the clock. His height, steady pacing and ability to limit losses in the mountains made him an exceptionally effective stage-race competitor. He rode for the Banesto team during his Tour victories.

His achievement is often confused with the broader record for total Tour victories. Four riders—Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Indurain—each won five Tours. Indurain’s distinction is the consecutive sequence from 1991 to 1995, rather than a unique record for the overall number of wins.
