Victor and I came up with this a couple of years ago...the "best old rider" award. They award the white jersey to the best rider 25 or younger, but the guys who hang in there for years should be recognized too.
I used the totally arbitrary "older than I am" to determine "old," but that narrows the field a lot. This year I was checked birthdates and decided to go for "born before 1970," which gives us four riders:
Giovanni Lombardi, born July 20, 1969, CSC
Christophe Mengin, born September 3, 1968, Francaise des Jeux
Laurent Brochard, born March 26, 1968, Bouygues Telecom
Viatcheslav Ekimov, born February 4, 1966, Discovery
