Last night watching the coverage on OLN – they were replaying Sundays stage ---- Phil Ligget said that there have been 8 American stage winners in Tour History—
It took me a couple of minutes to come up with them—
Anyone want to take a shot at naming all 8?
I bet Francois can name that tune in 1 note…
George Hincapie, Greg Lemond, Davis Phinney, Jeff Pierce, Andy Hampsten, Lance Armstrong, Tyler Hamilton, and Dave Zabriskie.
What do I get?
Off the top of my head (no Googling): Lance Greg Tyler Bobby J Andy Hampsten Davis Phinney Fred Rodriguez Dave Zabriske
Not 100% sure abot Julich and Freddie
.
A hearty congratulations---- Thought maybe Pierce would trip up some people— but his stage win in Paris was quite impressive.
thanks for playing along
How could I forget George!!! Yikes!
