Keifel, Lemond and Hampsten. (I may be wrong about Lemond but I think
he won a timetrial at some point).

1985 Andy Hampsten, stage 20
1986 Greg Lemond, stage 5
1988 Andy Hampsten, stage 12
1988 Andy Hampsten, stage 18

None. He was second to Brukink on that stage and went over the pass in
second place as well but the first place climber was too cold to continue. I
believe that Bob Roll finished 7th on that stage as well.

OK, how about this one.

Lots of people know Greg Lemond won the final time trial in
the 1989 Tour over Fignon by 58 seconds. What was his margin of
victory over the second placed rider at the Lac de Vassivi?re
time trial in 1990 where he took the yellow jersey from
Chiapucci?

0.00 seconds ... LeMond WAS the 2nd place finisher at the Lac de Vassivière
time trial.

Curious isn't it.

Two times an American took first place in a major stage race, both times
coming in 2nd on the stage to the same man, Eric Breukink:

Andy Hampsten in the stage over the Gavia Pass
Greg LeMond in the Lac de Vassiviere time trial in the TdF.
