Most Tours finished. Doesn't Joop have like 16 and Ek 14? Did Ek finish all
those tours?

He tried to retire once a few years ago... was so bored he leapt at the
chance to come back and ride with USPS (2000 or 2001 I think). Unless he
decides do leave when Lance does, I suspect he'll be around as long as he
can contribute. He still wins a race once in a while.

Um, isn't he the current reigning Olympic TT gold medalist?

Yep. Not his only medal either, not by a long shot.

He won Tour of Holland last year, after the Tour, didn't he?

Hey,
Eki has finished every Tour he started.
He's the only top 20 in all three SFGP's.
Does 1999 count as a 'Virtual' Tour for Grandpa Eki????
Thanks,
