Luxemburger in Yellow before?

Yes. The leader jersey in the Vuelta is gold, btw.

General classification after stage 3, VUELTA, 2004, Sept. 6

1 Benoit Joachim (Lux) US Postal Service p/b Berry Floor
9.16.00
2 Max Van Heeswijk (Ned) US Postal Service p/b Berry Floor
0.16
3 Floyd Landis (USA) US Postal Service p/b Berry Floor
0.22
4 Michael Barry (Can) US Postal Service p/b Berry Floor
5 Manuel Beltran (Spa) US Postal Service p/b Berry Floor
6 Victor Hugo Peña (Col) US Postal Service p/b Berry Floor
7 David Zabriskie (USA) US Postal Service p/b Berry Floor

Johnny Schleck won the stage Cslatayud-Madrid in the 25th Anniversary edition
(1970) but never led the race finishing 26th, 11 minutes++ back.

Luxembourgeois have a poor history of participation in the
Vuelta.

It wasn't until, I believe, 1960 that a Gaul led EMI squad fielded four
Luxembourgeois that anyone from thataways ever bothered to ride the Vuelta.
but despite some top ten places, they neither led the race nor
won a stage.
