The last 29 winners of the Col du Tourmalet summit in the Tour de France have not been eventual winners of the yellow jersey in Paris. It remains to be seen whether Andy Schleck can still pull out a win barring disaster for Alberto Contador. The last rider to win the climb up the Tourmalet and win the overall classification also won the sprint and king of the mountains competitions. That was Eddy Merckx in 1969, his first of 5 Tour de France victories.
