success at the 1955 tour ensured an invitation to the 1956 giro d’italia where he took four stages, this followed three stage wins in the vuelta a españa, he took another tour de france stage win that year between angers and la rochelle to complete a grand slam of stages in grand tours for 1956. only pierino baffi and alessandro petacchi have been able to repeat this. by this time poblet was riding for the faema team led by rik van looy but he left the team early in 1957 after being told he was not going to ride milan–san remo. he signed for the italian squad ignis and promptly won milano–torino for them; a week later he was victorious at milan–san remo. he stayed with the ignis squad for the rest of his career.
