The winner of the 19th stage in this article used to be Rolf Graf. Recently, it was changed into Nencini, with the edit note
Nencini won the final ITT, not Graf. This is a confusion with 1959 - Graf won the 19th stage in 1959, and his name has been copied over to 1960, it would seem.
While Graf indeed won the 19th stage in 1959, sources indicate that he also won the 19th stage in 1960: memoire du cyclisme. The Tour de France database indeed lists Nencini as winner, but they list him as winner of ten stages in a row, and most likely confused 'stage win' with 'leading general classification'. Newspapers from 1960 also clearly listed Graf as winner: [1]. For this reason I reverted the change, so now the article lists Graf as winner of the 19th stage. -- EdgeNavidad ( Talk · Contribs) 16:04, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Ah. Well, that'll teach me to jump in without doing enough research. I saw that the page conflicted with the Tour database, and that Graf had won the exact same-number stage the year before, and thought it was unlikely that a) the Tour database was wrong, b) Graf did indeed happen to win stage 19 two years in a row, and c) a rank GC-outsider like Graf would have won the main TT at the Tour (by my count that happened only four other times before 2000).
But yes, your sources seem better (and it turns out the tour database has a LOT of problems) (bikeraceinfo.com also agrees with you, although I don't know if that's got an independent source of facts or is just copying memoire-du-cyclisme or somewhere similar). So I guess that what seemed like a massive coincidence did indeed happen.
Anyway, yes, you're right. Sorry.

I can appreciate trying to make sure information is verified and that no nonsense is included in an article but I was under the impression that if information about a rider was already cited within that writers article it is not necessary to cite it again. Perhaps I am mistaken about this but I don't think that I am.... If it is necessary to add the link to the rider where the information is mentioned then I will do that but there is also the thing about once a link is provided to a rider early in an article it is not necessary to do so again?
