I can help there, as @Dogtrousers is currently busy trying to get an axe out of his head.
Any double involving the Giro has only been possible since the points jersey was restarted in 1966. The TdF points jersey started in 1953, the Vuelta in 1955. It should be remembered that the points systems of each of the races have been buggered around with the whole time, up to a few years ago the Vuelta points jersey tended to go to a climber/GC rider, until they reweighted the finishes.
One other rider has managed the Giro-Vuelta points double - none other than Eddy Merckx in 1973 (he won the GC in both races as well).
Three riders have managed a Tour-Vuelta points double: Jan Janssen (NED) in '67, Sean Kelly (In Real Life) in '85 and Laurent Jalabert (FRA) in '95
Only one rider has managed a Tour-Giro points jersey double - The Tashkent Terror, Djamolidine Abdoujaparov, in '94.
No rider has ever won a points jersey treble.
With only six completed points jersey doubles - contra nineteen GT GC doubles - we can conclude that it's around three times harder to win than a double GC win! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Tadej bloody Pogacar.
