    At a guess, Erik Dekker?

    Erik Breukink is the last one I'd be properly confident about though.

    Confidence is a good thing! 1989 thats 25 years ago!! and just for one day after his prologue win

    Did he ever wear Yellow? He certainly didn't after Breukink.

    Edit: no. The list above says so. :oops:

    Is there anyone "of a certain age" who never had those exact shoes?

    If not Mollema then Kelderman or Ten Dam (although would like to see Gesink ploughing up Dutch corner in yellow) This has to be the strongest generation for a while
