Depending on how we define 'Europe', one could also mention Andreď Tchmil (winner in 1994) from Khabarovsk. But by that time, he had a Belgian passport already.

Lemond - i don't think he did. Andre certainly but he was racing as a Belgian like you said. Close but not close enough. Ed's almost given it away. BIG clue !!! |
Steve Bauer 2nd in 1990

Sean Kelly for Ireland is the only non French, Dutch, Belgian, or Italian winner. except some swiss guy in 1923 named Suter.

I did...
ok, What year did the TdF first climb the Col du Galibier, who was the first guy over the top, and can you believe the stage was 227 miles! ouch. |
1911 Gustave Garrigou (even tho he was 3rd on the stage?)
|
The year is correct, but Garrigou was not the first rider over the top..... The guy who was, was also the only entrant not to get off and walk the bike at some point on the climb.
|
Ok, Now I've got to start searching seriously!
Emile Georget if I read your hint correctly! |
You got it Lotek, nice..
|
Ok, lets keep with the Tour.
The first moutain time trial was held in what year, and what was the climb? |
no clue.
how about 1956 on the Tourmalet ? |
1939 on the Iseran.
Stage 16b. Bonneval sur Arc - Bourg St. Maurice 64.5 km. Won by the Belgian Sylvere Maes. He kept the yellow to Paris. |
Gawd knows.....
1974 on l'Alpe d'Huez.....sideburns and suffering. :D |
Laggard, good on ya (aussie for good on you)
Your up. BTW the 39 tour had 5 ITTs including the Iseran. |
What ex-pro was killed in a car accident in 1998 while on the way to do commentary at the Tour of Flanders?
|
Rudy Dhaenens, died 6th of April, 36 years old...
