With his win today, Tim Wellens is the first UAE rider not named Tadej Pogačar to win a TdF stage since Yates won in Bilbao in 2023.

In between these two wins, Pogačar won 12 TdF stages.

The stat looks more impressive in this PCS table:

Is that teaching people how to be moths (for some reason...), or getting moth to sit still long enough so you can teach them?

Both, but mostly for teaching moth in a natural way on their own turf. Leaning is not just sitting still and listening. Especially not with moth. Try to cleanse yourself of the audio-immobil centric concepts of learning and see that for the moth, it's about movement, aearial movement, around the light, around smell and taste, around the everlasting pull that a light source has on the moth. Moth education only has three goals: teach the moth not to fly into the flame, make it eat your ennemies cloth and get high on perfume fumes yourself.

I think moth has the moth education down... pretty well.
Apart from the "not flying into the flame" bit...
 
Milan and Merlier have raced against each other in 2 GTs and they've both won 3 stages in the first one and 2 stages in the second (so far). Every time Merlier has won Milan has been runner up, but Merlier's only top 10 finish in a Milan win is 5th (although he did initially finish second on stage 11 of last year's Giro before he was relegated for obstructing Molano). This also means that in those 10 GT stages, Kaden Groves has finished in the top 3 just as many times as Merlier.
