Gump Posted July 9, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 9, 2014 Pelissier Definitely earlier than Merckx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former member Posted July 9, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 9, 2014 Definitely earlier than Merckx...but still the wrong answer. Guess again, and no googling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted July 9, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 9, 2014 Garin ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted July 9, 2014 Pelissier closest yet, but its even earlier remember..this is CAREER wins, not in the same year. Just the first man to have both wins I'll put another question up since today would have been a special day for this rider...who was the first Spanish rider to win the Tour?

Nate Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted July 9, 2014 Garin ? BINGO! he won Paris Roubaix in the 1890s and then the first edition of the Tour in 1903 well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted July 9, 2014 Bahamonts Yes! and today is his birthday! you guys get an easy one now... What year did Eddie win the Tour and Paris-Roubaix in the same year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted July 9, 2014 another easy one... Which rider in today's stage has the most podium appearances at Paris Roubaix? how many does he have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted July 9, 2014 Share #12 Posted July 9, 2014 Yes! and today is his birthday! you guys get an easy one now... What year did Eddie win the Tour and Paris-Roubaix in the same year? 1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted July 9, 2014 yes! 1970 Its kinda surprising that he only did that in one year because he won the Tour 5 times and Roubaix 3 times from 1968 to 1973 So another easy one...what rider in today's stage has the most Tour appearances?

Kzoo Posted July 9, 2014 Share #16 Posted July 9, 2014 When you get done there could you do mine too? Sure. Do you have any flowers that I have to mow around. Those might be in danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted July 9, 2014 Share #17 Posted July 9, 2014 Sure. Do you have any flowers that I have to mow around. Those might be in danger. Nope, I took them out the first time I mowed this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted July 9, 2014 Share #18 Posted July 9, 2014 Nope, I took them out the first time I mowed this year. That's nice to know. It makes my job easier. How about trees that I have to dodge? I dislike mowing around trees but since I have many, many, many in my yard, I'm very experienced in not hitting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted July 9, 2014 Share #20 Posted July 9, 2014 I have 29 within 50 feet of my house (most 60 year old oaks). I can easily scoot around 9 measly trees. When do you want me to come over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
