Jan's record?

I tried to look this up on the web and couldn't find the
answer. If Ullrich gets second place again this year, is
that the most second place finishes by a Tour rider?
Thanks, Tom

You didn't look very hard.

Raymond Poulidor has 3 2nd-place finishes and 5 3rd-place
finishes. Not only did he never win the Tour, but he never
even got the chance to wear the maillot jaune for a day.

Joop Zoetemelk has 6 2nd-place finishes to go with his
solitary win. Joop also has several other minor placings,
however, whereas Ullrich has NEVER finished lower than
2nd-place.

But Joop also has 16 Tour starts *and* finishes. And a great-
nephew that has been called today's greatest cycling talent.

Thanks, Steven Tom
