Hey all.

I'm trying to find some good sites that have listed previous tours and one day events with regard to riders who competed? But there is a twist, if possible I would like to find a site that also has listings for riders previous events, but don't give outcome or position?

As to why I need not know the result, is because I'm trying to get hold of some older events on DVD, and I would like to save the surprise of the winners of the jerseys and stages. But at the same time, I’m trying to find the tours riders I like competed in.

I'm probably looking for something that doesn't exist, but maybe it is possible :)

cheers

    Cyclingstartlists goes back to 2004:

    http://cyclingstartlists.com/

    Cyclingnews goes back a bit further, but navigating their archives is very difficult. Your best bet is probably to use Google's site search function.

    Eg, to find the 1999 Vuelta startlist just use:
    1999 vuelta site:cyclingnews.com

    ...et voila: http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/results/ ... lta99.html

    Quite extensive - but in French - the TdF coverage (not surprisingly) is incredibly comprehensive. To access everything you need to be a member but it does tell you the top 3 in all other races since they started, extensive palmares and complete team lists for every year since the sport began. It is a superb resource.

    Thanks, this was a very useful site which I have been using. I found the root page, but as you say you need to know the start month or use the calendar:

    Thanks :) I will sign up and try a translator like Babelfish and see how it goes.
