The answer is no to all those questions, but it is against your own established rules to ask that many all at once

In relation to last mystery man (catching up a bit), how would one know whether de Jongh was not present an any given race.

In this case, people look at what PCS or other sites say, but that does of course not rule out that a DS may have been there anyway.

By looking at the startlists on PCS - and the provisional startlist for the Giro Netserk provided, even though that opened in a PDF file - which doesn't list him.

Rode FRoM in 2014?
Rode FRoM in 2013?

[Armchair Cyclist]

But not knowing that he was working in that race does not mean that it is known that he was not.

Well... considering that teams have to list the riders present, it would make sense that they also have to list the DSes present.
