Only Charles Pelissier, Eddy Merckx and Freddy Maertens have won eight stages in a single Tour.
• Freddy Maertens was (still is?) a great collector of fine Bordeaux.
** includes three Team Time Trial victories
*** includes a stage victory in Tours
With the exception of Sean Yeats I haven't listed riders who have only scored a single victory. Please let me know if I have missed out any significant winners.
