or Bartali?

 

[Pantani_lives]

or Bartali?

That's the one: 1938 and 1948, a gap of ten years.

 

[scholar]

I want to ask the same question only about stage victories, but I don't know the answer and don't have time to look up all the gaps!

A slightly easier one:

Erik Zabel has won twelve stages, Joop Zoetemelk ten, and Alex Zülle two. But (ignoring after-the-fact disqualifications) four riders whose surnames begin with a Z have won one each. Their names, please.

Same rules as last time in the case of incomplete answers.

webvan wins (with bonus points for artistic expression)

 

[webvan]

ok, let's see...

a) This climb that belongs to the Tour "mythology" hasn't been used for a while and now will never be used again, b) why ?

 

[valentius borealis]

a) Puy de Dome

b) The construction of a rack railway means that the road is now too narrow to be used.

a) This climb that belongs to the Tour "mythology" hasn't been used for a while and now will never be used again, b) why ?

Puy de Dome, protected for environmental reasons.

 

[webvan]

It may have been the environment initially but now with the train project launched in 2008 and opened in 2012 it's over for sure, valentius borealis's turn!

 

[valentius borealis]

In Australian racing, the Herald Sun Tour, the Tour of Tasmania, and the now defunct Commonwealth Bank Cycling Classic have each had a rider win the general classification before going on the do the same at the Tour de France. Name them.

Evans, Ullrich and I am stumped.

 

[Bronstein]

Evans, Ullrich and I am stumped.

Wiggins won the Herald Sun Tour.

 

[valentius borealis]

Evans, Ullrich and Wiggins is correct.

Jan Bakelants took the yellow jersey by winning the stage yesterday. He is a former winner of the Tour de l'Avenir, thought of as the proving grounds for potential future GT talents in France.

But who was the last winner of the Tour de l'Avenir to wear the maillot jaune and when?

And who was the last Tour de l'Avenir winner to win a stage of the Tour?

And who was the last Tour de l'Avenir winner to win a stage of the Tour?

Johan Bruyneel (1995) and Denis Menchov (2006)?

 

[Pantani_lives]

Menchov won a stage.

I think Bruyneel was the last in yellow?

Edit: I'm the Poulidor of this thread.

 

[Finn84]

Sylvain Calzati for the last stage winner?

 

[Pantani_lives]

Sylvain Calzati for the last stage winner?

Menchov won three stages later, also in 2006. (We are overinformed.)

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Menchov is correct; Bruyneel isn't.

 

[rghysens]

Menchov is correct; Bruyneel isn't.

Is it Indurain?
Because I didn't really know if you meant the last winner of the tour de l'avenir or the last wearer of the yellow jersey.
Or maybe there's a winner of the tour de l'avenir who wore yellow after 1995.
