I'm an idiot, it is Anquetil. Not sure how he looks so small in that picture though. |

YES.
He stayed with his name inscribed in the 1960 edition, by becoming the first Frenchman to win the Giro, repeating the dose in the 1964 edition. Anquetil is one of the greats of cycling, adding record hard to match: It was the first to win the Tour five times, as the first to dress in yellow from beginning to end and also the first to conquer the three GT's. Expert strategist and TT, died in 1987, victim of cancer of the stomach.

We know who Anquetil is. I did the Grewal schpiel because a lot of people might not know who he is. |

They were both 1,75m, actually. Gaul was just really really skinny and frail
Anyway, as I'm sure it's Girardengo and I really have to get to bed, here's one for Deadpool to get right back at me easily 
Hint: Liggett's most embarrassing moment came when interviewing this man

Stieda.
Isso is referring to Ligget asking him "What is it like to be the first American to lead the Tour de France?" to which Stieda replied "It's great to be the first Canadian to lead the Tour de France." Also, he's right about Girardengo. Someone mentioned Binda. They rode at the same time, but Girardengo was the bigger star. Reason you here about Binda is because what he won are still big races today, whereas Girardengo mainly just won races around Italy.

OMG its Earl the Pearl the NBA player obviously.
I really wish I knew but unfortunately my knowledge of cycling from anything 2003-ish or earlier is fairly small.

Either Impe or Guy Nulens (?). As those two, Hincapie and Ekimov are the only guys to go 15/15. I'm going to go with Impe, although I never saw that hair. |
