23 Days Of Italia - Day 6

The Lion King holds the record with 42 wins, one more than Alfredo Binda. He also counts 12 Tour de France wins even though in many years his teams were not invited to the Tour and in 1999 he won the fastest mass start road stage ever in the Tour de France, averaging 50.4 kph over 194.5 km from Laval to Blois and .
