Your list of riders is wrong

I think it's 6, but David Miller, not Robert

I think it's 6, but David Miller, not Robert

That's correct - unless someone comes along and proves otherwise

It wasn't David Miller, whoever he is he never won a maillot jaune, but David Millar definitely did.

C froome ,B Wiggins, c Broadman, T Simpson, r miller,s yates

True, but misspelings are allowed on t'interweb

So is it six spelled correctly, six spelled incorrectly, or some other number?

 

[400bhp]

4

 

[HF2300]

4

More than that, 'cos it's definitely Froome, Wiggins, Boardman, Yates, Simpson and David Millar at least.

Am I right in thinking Boardman and D MIllar won yellow in the prologue TT?

Simpson
Boardman
Yates
D. Millar
Wiggins
Froomedog

Robert Millar won the polka dot jersey in 1984. Which professional team was he racing for?

 

[13 rider]

I seem to remember R Millar riding for a Peugeot team in that era son that my guess

Robert Millar won the polka dot jersey in 1984. Which professional team was he racing for?

It was 'Peugeot' as per previous answer but I also think the proper title included Michelin and I think Esso - he said, having gone upstairs to look at his retro jersey Although until I looked at it I would have sworn it was Shell and not Esso. Ho-hum.

 

[Slioch]

Peugeot's spot on. I'm not sure about the Michelin/Esso extra bits without resorting to Google, so happy to take your word on that.

I think Peugeot pulled put of team sponsorship shortly after 1984, which was a shame for one of the major bike manufacturers of the time.

Ok, as this is a pub quiz. Name 5 Colombian cyclists who have ridden in a Grand Tour.

No right or wrong unless they are a) not Colombian and b) have not ridden a GT.

Fire on until someone asks something better...
