I was wondering wether or not anyone has managed to win all three GTs in the same season? If you haven't, what is the closest you have come?
Tell us about it, it would be great if you would say something about your fitness schedule, etc. 
Personally, I have nothing to bring to the table here because I am still just in the top 5 of the Continental rankings  |

Not in PCM 10, but back in PCM 07 I won the Tour and Vuelta after losing the Giro by 12 seconds, all with Cadel Evans (it was year two with the PCM.daily 2008 DB).
So I got close

I managed to win all three of them in my 3d season with Nibali, Liquigas (pcmdaily db). I rode Giro del Trentino and Romandia in preparation of Giro,
Ster Elektrotour and Swiss or dauphiné (don't remember which one) b4 tour, and Benelux and Poland in preparation for Vuelta.
I had like 105 race days in total, and i managed to win the Vuelta by just 13 seconds in front of Anton. My fitness on the final day of the Vuelta was only 83 bcuz of the amount of race days...
The most important thing was that i needed helpers with really high fitness to have optimal support for my team cpt. |

I won with Contador in the 2nd season. Raced Romandie before the Giro. Nothing between the GTs. After the Vuelta he rode Lombardia and some other races with good results. On extreme.

Daily, the patch before the latest right now. He had 85 in MO, think had 84 during the Giro.
However, I find this game much easier than the other games. I know many other people also winning everything on extreme. I'm not saying it was easy winning all three GTs. Forexample won the jersey in the Tour and Vuelta on the last timetrail. But in general, you can win 6-8 stages with to GC-rider in a GT.

I've only managed 2 GTs in one season so far, but I have never had more than 1 good GC-contender either so that might be the reason why |
