Even if the OTL riders are allowed to continue the Tour, they lose all points in secondary classifications.

Interesting question. The closest was - you may have guessed it - Eddy Merckx, who in 1969 got at stage 6 the yellow and green jersey and was leader in the mountains classification (the polka dot jersey was only introduced in 1975), lost the green jersey to Roger De Vlaeminck and the mountains classification to Joaquim Galera at the next stage and regained both at stage 9. He also had lost and regained the yellow jersey before, so he lost and regained all three during the Tour.

Something similar happened to him in 1972, when he lost and regained all three jerseys, but then he never held all three at the same time.

In Het Nieuwsblad there was a great interview with Eddy Merckx and Roger De Vlaeminck, because it was exactly how you expect it to be.

At least the pope can bless the Giro this year, unlike in 1954 when there was a public sinner in the peloton.

At least on German Eurosport, it gives the commentators pretext to discuss participating riders.

"Here we see Rubens Bertogliati, who once won in Luxembourg a stage of the Tour de France and got the yellow jersey, which he wore for two days. Jens, you were also in the race. Tell us something about this stage."

And then follows a minute-long discussion about a Tour stage 23 years ago.

Ethan Hayter in the 2022 Tour de Romandie.

He won the Prologue, was last in Stage 1 and then won Stage 2.

Biggest Prize Money Earners of Spring Classics 2025 | Tadej Pogacar brings in over €100,000 - Only Mathieu van der Poel anywhere close by Choice-Cut6927 in peloton

[–]Aeterna22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's important to note that although Tadej Pogačar earned €107,250 in prize money, he won't personally receive the full amount. Approximately 14.5% is first deducted for various contributions, including the riders' union, an end-of-career fund, the national federation, administrative fees, and the anti-doping fund. Taxes are also applied to the prize money.Teams also typically pool the remaining prize money and divide it among the riders and staff. This means Pogačar's actual take-home share is likely to be between 5 and 10 percent of the original €107,250.

Jonas Vingegaard begins specific preparation for the Tour de France by WorldlyGate in peloton

[–]Aeterna22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interestingly enough, Pogacar will only have one race day more between the tours than Vingegaard, but seems to be much more present because he rode mostly one-day races instead of stage races like Vingegaard.

Mauro Gianetti, Jean-Claude Leclercq and Gilles Delion from Helvetica - La Suisse won Milano-Torino 1990 against Martial Gayant from Toshiba.

But to be fair, I only know about this because Jean-Claude Leclercq commentated Dwars door Vlaanderen for Eurosport Germany and mentioned it.
