Giro Stage Wins by Americans

Russ Baxter

Add Freddy to the rather short list. As I recall the only others are
Keifel, Lemond and Hampsten. (I may be wrong about Lemond but I think
he won a timetrial at some point).

Ewoud has provided the answer on several occasions, this is just a check
to make sure you guys are paying attention.

None. He was second to Brukink on that stage and went over the pass in
second place as well but the first place climber was too cold to continue. I
believe that Bob Roll finished 7th on that stage as well.

He effectively gained his victory for the Giro GC on that stage.

OK, how about this one.

Lots of people know Greg Lemond won the final time trial in
the 1989 Tour over Fignon by 58 seconds. What was his margin of
victory over the second placed rider at the Lac de Vassivi?re
time trial in 1990 where he took the yellow jersey from
Chiapucci?

0.00 seconds ... LeMond WAS the 2nd place finisher at the Lac de Vassivière
time trial.

Remember, if you didn't pay close enough attention first time around, it
is not permitted to use Google.

none -- he didn't win the stage; Eric Breukink (sp?) of the Netherlands won
it.
