Mary Patricia Kimberley Le Court De Billot Pienaar (or whichever combination of those names she prefers to be called)?

I once knew a Francis Ivanhoe Saintsere Thomsen III...he went by Frank...I would have gone with Ivanhoe, easily.

[Samu Cuenca]

Domingo/Txomin Perurena? (he appears to have been taller than Pedro Delgado's 171 cm, but not by a whole lot)

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Wow: How did you get that on the basis of a dead Basque who rode in the era of Merckx and beat him once?

I had reason to look at PCS's list of winners of 100 races + a while ago, and that name struck me as one I had very little familiarity with, and therefore material for here.

Male?
Active?
European?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I looked at the lists of winners from the main one-week stage races which hadn't been won by Hinault more than once, and he stood out as someone I knew was no longer alive, but hadn't died young, and who was neither French, Italian, Swiss, Danish, Belgian or Dutch, so that's why asked whether the rider in question was Basque.

Male? Yes
Active? Yes
European? No
