While the Tour don't organise for this kind of thing, they quite often get lucky and yesterday's Tour finish in Barcelona also happened to be the birthday of the Spanish rider who won the Tour in 1959

12:36 - Comments From Bahamontes

The winner of the Tour 50 years ago was present at the finish of the stage to Barcelona. Federico Bahamontest turned 81 yesterday and he talked to Matt Rendell about his day. “I enjoyed myself as much today as I did when I won the Tour. This morning at the stage start I was greeted with cheers, presents, and happy birthday sung by pretty girls. My birthday has been unforgettable; it was like my return to Toledo after I won the Tour. It’s been wonderful."

I like the Tour because of the history.
