TdF winners who were not that good as time-trialers?

Marco Pantani comes to mind instantly.

section of letour.com doesn't specify which stages were ITT, so
I can't even figure it out on my own (although that sure beats
getting work done this afternoon).

Any of you historians able to help us out here?

Gaul won the Tour of 1958. His performances in the TTs of that year:
Circuit de Chateaulin (46) km:
1. Gaul 2. Anquetil 3. Planckaert 4. Brankart
Mt Ventoux (22,5 km)
1. Gaul 2. Bahamontes 3. Dotto 4. Brankart
Besançon-Dijon (74 km)
1. Gaul 2. Nencini 3. Adriaensens 4. Planckaert.
Pretty good, IMO. In 1956 he also won the first TT. Bahamontes wasn't so bad
either. He won TT climbs in 1959 (the year he won the Tour) and 1962, but in
1963 at 35 was still capable finishing third in a flat TT after great
specialists as Anquetil and Bracke.
