The Tour de France is road cycling's crown jewel, the event that every rider hopes to appear in when they begin their career.
It is to the credit of some of the tour's most iconic names then, that they have managed to appear in so many iterations of the event.
Squads are often chopped and changed, and the Grand Tour has seen tens of thousands of riders participate since its inception.
Therefore to appear in so many, a cyclist must be at the top of their game for an incredibly long period of time.
