Well the only thing I could think of regarding positions/numbers is that four of them had previously finished on the podium before winning their first and only Tour in that year but it doesn't work with Hinault obviously so no idea.

While riding??? :eek:

Or do you mean the rider fell back asleep and didn’t make it to the start of stage, as he was curled up in bed in a deep REM sleep???

I heard about abd-el Qadir Zaaf, who drank too much wine and fell asleep under a tree. It was in the late 40's, early 50's.
Don't know if it was the first, though.

Emile Georget in 1903. In stage 5, he was 2 hours behind the leader and stopped to rest and fell asleep at the side of the road. No broom wagon back then.
