TDF Trivia quiz

[Netserk]

Age difference between the oldest rider on the oldest 2013 WT team on average and the youngest rider on the youngest 2013 WT team on average (trainees don't count, age difference in years so 42 years and 8 months and 21 years and 1 month age difference is 11 years)

What did I say about that calculator?!?

 

[Cyivel]

Tosatto 39 & Arndt 21 so 18 years I believe.

If that is right, someone else can think of a question as I'm going out for a bit now! Not that I can think of a good question anyway tbh.

I can ask the next question if no one else wants to, got this one from a twitter buddy

During his first months in France with Renault Greg LeMond used to get bored at the team's dinners so he started reading novels written by which author?

That is a hard question for the hardcore. Tried, but got no search results, even in Dutch. Please consider an easier question?

I have a question, not for a quiz but for something I was wondering, and I didn't know where to post it so I chose this thread.

Who was the last dutch rider to wear yellow, and in what year was it?

I remember when Bakelants got it, they said he was the first Belgian since Boonen. That's why I wondered about the dutch.

Thanks

According to Wikipedia, Erik Breukink after the 1989 prologue.

Now you can ask a question

Err, okay.

Which rider has worn the Yellow Jersey on the most occasions without ever winning the race?

Apologies if its been asked...

 

[rghysens]

Cancellara?

 

[Christian]

Thomas Voeckler?

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Cancellara?

I would go with this unless it is a trick question in which case the answer is Lance Armstrong.

 

[BigMac]

Err, okay.

Which rider has worn the Yellow Jersey on the most occasions without ever winning the race?

Apologies if its been asked...

It has been asked already indeed I belive the answer was Cancellara.
