As already said that wasn't solo.

Ah damn, got ahead of myself there. Break doesn't equal solo

@Parker Just for the record that would be Steegmans ahead of Ciolek.

 

[Netserk]

Originally I meant most aggressive rider of the day and *not* Tour, but that is perhaps too difficult to find out?

From what I've counted Chavanel has won it 7 times, but I'm sure others have won it more times.

If the question is too hard, then Afrank gets to ask the next question, as he was the first to answer Merckx, which is correct if we go by most aggressive in the whole tour.

 

[Afrank]

If we're going with whole Tour, then the next question is

Q: What year were the Alps first included in the Tour?

 

[Netserk]

1911

Duh. That's the reason why we had Galibier twice in 2011.

From Wiki about the 1911 edition:

in 1911 the Alps were first visited; for this addition, the 1911 edition has been named the first modern Tour

 

[Afrank]

Man, Netserk is fast! Correct.

 

[Netserk]

Other than Tourmalet and Galibier, which mountain has featured most often in the Tour?

 

[pastronef]

Other than Tourmalet and Galibier, which mountain has featured most often in the Tour?

Col d'Aubisque?

Correct. (It has actually featured more often than Galibier )
