TDF Trivia quiz

[Netserk]

Cavendish ?

He didn't win any jersey, nor did he top-3 the GC. (in 2011, which was the year where he wore the stripes)

 

[The Hitch]

Cavendish ?

If we go like that then Evans surely will have stood on the podium after Cav (as the yellow jersey gets to stand there more than once)

 

[Pantani_lives]

Greg Lemond?

 

[Netserk]

Greg Lemond?

Close but no cigar

 

[The Hitch]

I know it wasn't clear, but I meant the winner of the Road Race. (in the following year where he's wearing the stripes)

Lemond then.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Tom Boonen.

*edit* my mistake, one year out, it was 2007 he won green.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Gianni Bugno

 

[burning]

Yeah, Bugno was more recent, well done

[The Hitch]

Gianni Bugno

 

[Pantani_lives]

Who was kissed by his later wife after winning the opening stage in the Tour de France when she was a podium girl?

 

[webvan]

Hincapie married a podium girl...but a prologue? No, I'll go with Christophe Moreau without looking it up but I think he won a prologue.

ok, a bit short of ideas after my "demi-étape" Q yesterday, let's see...

What only happened twice on the TDF? Hint, it occurred twenty years apart.

I'm sure there's a whole bunch of stuff that happened twice in the Tour.

 

[burning]

Agnel (And possibly many more climbs) was used two times in the TDF history
I know that was not the intended answer

 

[Netserk]

Agnel (And possibly many more climbs) was used two times in the TDF history
I know that was not the intended answer

That was only 3 years apart, not 20

 

[webvan]

Twenty years apart ? Possibly, ok, here's another hint, the year the second time it happened was in the cycling news today.

 

[The Hitch]

Rider protest?

 

[roundabout]

Oh, right. I think I know the answer. But since I can't think of a question, someone else should have a go.

 

[Froome19]

Rider protest?

Yes I think Hitch gets it.. the 1978 one at Valence d'Agen led by Hinault and of course the infamous 1998 one.

 

[Pantani_lives]

A strike by the cyclists (1978 and 1998).

Edit: too late.

 

[Ruby United]

rider chucked out of tour de france whilst in yellow because of doping related issues?

EDIT: ah oh, wrong

 

[DenisMenchov]

Ok, so Hitch it's your turn.
