What refrains you from going to the Tour de France wikipedia lemma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_de_France), and just click on the names of all the winners there?

Joop Zoetemelk, Miguel Indurain

I went on wikipedia before posting & couldnt find a list of the LIVING TDF winners? Pardon me if there is such a list. Again, Im asking what TDF winners are still alive?

I forgot:

Riis/Delgado

Joop Zoetemelk, Miguel Indurain

Added

Are you talking overall/GC winners or what? Zabel & Cippo only won stages and green (sprinter) jersey.

Felice Gimondi
Lucien Aimar

More coming. I just wanted to be the first for Gimondi.

Roger Pingeon
Jan Janssen
Bernard Thévenet

Federico Bahamontès
Roger Walkowiak
Ferdi Kübler

I'm not going to check any pre WW II winners.

LemondFan: I suggest you go to Wiki, make a spreadsheet of all the TdF winners with their birth years and death years so we can sort them by date, and then upload that to the Wiki page after we review your results. This may take a while, July is still three months away.

I thought Zabel & Cippo won a TDF? Guess not. Its ok I'll remove them, thanks for the heads up.

Lol, I'll get right on that, you're asking me to do work on a computer in hopes it'll be done soon?:lol: ( try something like that not being finished till atleast December w/my limited comp knowledge-sticks tongue out @ Diablo for even suggesting such a thing):p

Seriously?!?!?!

Seriously?!?!?!

Well being colorblind might explain Zabel.

I have no idea how he got Cippo.

Truthfully, I dont know why I thought both won either. No biggie, I fixed it.

All the living tdf champions are still with us.

Good one ;)

Cippo??? wow...

actually cancellara has more chances to win the TDF (with a lucky strike) than cippo had when he was active. And pretty much cancellara has zero chances to win it hehe

I'm not sure if Cippo even ever made it past all of the mountain stages. Where does Lemondfanforeve come up with this stuff?

It was an honest mistake, chill out.

As I've said before, consider doing a little research before posting. It will make you look educated. However, listing Cippo & Zabel as TDF winners did give my wife a laugh. For that, I thank you!.

Im glad your wife approves & found it funny, thats exactly what I was going for. I have a feeling though, she has no problem finding laughs about alot of things on a daily basis, though not always about cycling or tdf winners I'm sure.

Lance is off the hook. Leave him alone. Someone new tests positive practically every day. There are plenty of dirty riders still out there. Take your pick.

Please point out anywhere in this thread where I was picking on LA? I listed him among living tdf riders. Too funny you are

I think he's referring to your signature line. If you need it pointed out it appears at the end of everyone of your posts.

Ah, I see. Oh, those are the words of Mr. Fahey, not me. I just quoted him, poster should contact Mr. Fahey & they can discuss whatever issues they have between each other.

You took that quote from The Onion. It's a parody news paper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion.

The articles and quotes in it are not real. Mr. Fahey may agree, but he never said it. And the Onion article doesn't say 'Pharmstrong'.

Actually, "the Onion" isn't the only place it was posted, and did Fahey say anywhere that he didn't say that?

Believe whatever you want to. Here's another one that I won't prove didn't happen:

Well..............i googled the quote & several different sites/sources NOT named " the onion" came up in search w/ that quote(try it yourself, you'll see ). I dont care either way, it's a hilarious quote, thats why I kept it.

24) Andy Schleck

Yes

Contador's retro ban starting with the 2010 TdF put Schleck into 1st.
