[edit] 1996

Since the 1996 winner admitted to doping and offered to give up his title, should something like an asterisk be put by his name?Mbisanz 23:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Le Tour no longer consider Riis as the winner [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blogdroed (talkcontribs) 12:22, June 7, 2007.
But as Christian Prudhomme says, it isn't for them to remove the victory. This one hasn't run yet. SeveroTC 13:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
The key quote is this one: ""From a disciplinary point of view, you cannot strip him of the title but it is possible not to mention it anymore," UCI lawyer Philippe Verbiest said". I hate it as much as the next person, I didn't like Riis before he admitted to doping and I don't like him any more now. But it doesn't change the fact that he won the race - at this point in time at least. Like I said before, I think this one still has some time to run. SeveroTC 15:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
The UCI is the only body with the power to remove an individual's tour win and while it has asked Riis to return his yellow jersey as a "symbolic" jesture, the "time limits for sanctions" have passed. Jan Ullrich is certainly not the "new" 1996 winner. It should be Riis listed with an asterick explaining the circumstances.

I copied the note that was written in the 1996 Tour de France article to this list to. The two notes should probably be the same. -SeveroTC 23:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] 2007

There should be a least be footnote about Floyd Landis finishing first (even if he is guilty of doping). Even the page on Óscar Pereiro states that the 2006 race results "are subject to change pending final resolution of doping allegations surrounding Floyd Landis". Paploo 19:14, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

The ruling from USADA is reported to come through today. Feel free to revert the recent change (by an anonymous editor) but personally, I would just wait the few hours until there is a definitive answer. If one doesn't come today, then change it to as it stands now (and for the past 49 weeks) - Landis (as much as I personally hate to say it) is the winner. Thanks for your work in looking at this article though! SeveroTC 19:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Table-izing

Can someone turn the 'number of wins' by nation into a table?Ryoung122 16:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding this table

It would be nice to include in this overview the average speed, and other info as done in the french wikipedia http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar%C3%A8s_du_Tour_de_France_cycliste Or is there some other place in wikipedia where this is done? Voorlandt 01:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pereiro

Oscar Pereiro is from today the winner of the Tour of 2006 Tour de France. Reference [3] (spanish). It's official. Please, edit the article because I am spanish and I don't know to write english very good. Saludos. Loquo 20:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC).
