11. Chianti
7. Do you mean question 14? If so, no.
11. Correct.
Kelly did not win it twice.
It is 4. I miscounted.
Can you name them?
There were 3 starts in the Netherlands but none of the above.
Israel - correct.
Austria: surprisingly not, nor Germany.
Did you Google it, you flea bitten motherless goat?
Strange how you can call the Vatican city a 'foreign start'.
Michael Valgren being the Danish connection as he was second to Gaspa in Amstel.
My other stab would be 1999 for the Angliru.
I remember Heras winning by a country mile in 2000 and I think they had it in back to back editions when it premiered.
Right, that's me done.
