Ninja of the Tour (simplified version)

Were any of Kelderman's crashes on the TV coverage if NOT then he can claim Ninja on his crashes so that would be a point in his favor.

The biggest ninja of the Tour to me was Lutsenko, especially considering the kind of rider he normally is.
The only times I remember watching him on TV was when he very slowly dropped from the main contenders group.

That is probably true. Lutsenko's name was heard quite a bit but he wasn't seen on camera very often as he was usually between groups in the mountains when the attacks started.

I agree about Lutsenko. I only remember hearing about him from the first TT and the final GC.

Lutsenko was more fun as stage hunter than he is as GC rider

I can't think of a rider who's an exception to that. Maybe Dan Martin constantly attacking to try and pick up seconds in the final km.
