A1. 1903-Maurice Garin (kind of a gimme, first year of the race!), 1904-Henri Cornet, 1905-Louis Trousselier, 1947-Jean Robic, 1949-Fausto Coppi, 1951-Hugo Koblet, 1957-Jacques Anquetil, 1965-Felice Gimondi, 1969-Eddy Merckx, 1978-Bernard Hinault, 1983-Laurent Fignon
A2. 8th place by Raul Alcala in both 1989 and 1990.
A3. Dutchwomen Lorena Wiebes (2022, 2023) and Demi Vollering (2023, 2024) are currently tied with three stage wins apiece.
A4. Belgian Lotte Kopecky with six days total all logged in her remarkable race in 2023.
A5. In 2005, Kazakh rider Alexandre Vinokourov was sitting in sixth place coming into the final stage but trailed fifth placed American Levi Leipheimer by only two seconds. He went with a breakaway in the final two kilometers and then made the final attack to dramatically win the stage and take the stage winning time bonus and move up to fifth on the final GC.
