    Miguel Ángel Indurain Larraya (born 16 July 1964, Villava, Navarre) is a retired Spanish road racing cyclist. He is best known for winning the Tour de France from 1991 to 1995, becoming only the fourth person to win the event five times, and the first to win five in a row.

    My OH thinks it is A.
    Eddie Merckx won it 5 times but not in a row (1969,1970,1971,1972 and 1974)
    Miguel Indurain won it in 1991-95 inclusive.

    As mentioned above the question was(as posted on another site)

    who was the first man to win the Tour de France five times in a row.

    The options were
    A. Miguel Indurain
    B. Eddie Merckx
    C. Greg LeMond

    which makes it A so i won't be winning:/

    Its apologies from me for indicating the incorrect answer earlier. I found the incorrect answer (B) on another site which didn't show the question. It shows that other sites are not always up to the standards of this one!!
