    Wow. Ekimov is riding the Tour again. Can't find letour.fr's rider
    archive - how many starts is this for Ekimov? A record?

    Eki's had 14 starts, this'll be #15. Joop Sweetmilk has the record with 16.

    Very cool. After returning from retirement - even cooler.

    Nope

    Zoetemelk has 16 starts
    Van Impe+Guy Nulens 15 starts
    Viatcheslav Ekimov+Raymond Poulidor+Sean Kelly+André Darrigade

    Ekimov and Nulens are the little guys amongs these big stars(okay
    Nulens was even less visible as Ekimov)

    Amusing facts (they surprise me):
    Ullrich isn't among the five youngest winners.
    Lance was older than Joop was in 1980 when he won his last tour.
    Fastest TT: Greg Lemond in Paris

    Not so surprising:

    Hinault was the best in Contre le Monte (he won 20 TT's in the TdF)
    Usa had 31 stage wins. 20 of those by Lance.
    Usa had 13 podium spots, of wich there were 10 wins

    Too bad, I thought Van Huffel would start his first Tour.

    So if we listen to the group here the aero stuff has gone WAY downhill since
    Greg raced.
